2015 Hyundai I30 1.4L Petrol · WD65 AAF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear worsening of structural corrosion and mechanical wear. While it passed the most recent October 2025 test at 47,984 miles, the tester identified significant corrosion on the central front and rear sub-frames as well as both rear suspension arms. This represents a concerning progression from the clean records seen in earlier years, indicating that the vehicle's underbody is now succumbing to environmental degradation despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,362 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between 2018 and 2021, where the vehicle recorded no defects. However, since the 2022 test at 35,585 miles, the frequency of advisories has increased. The gap of roughly 3,500 miles between the last two tests suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface on metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis to assess the depth of the rust on the sub-frames and suspension arms. The record shows a recurring history of brake issues, specifically binding rear calipers noted in 2022 and 2023, followed by thin pads and scored discs in 2024. The buyer should verify if the rear braking system has been properly serviced or if the calipers continue to seize. Additionally, the inoperative bonnet safety catch flagged in 2024 must be confirmed as repaired, as this is a primary safety failure that was previously noted.
