The Hyundai i30 has become a mainstay in the New Zealand hatchback market. Offering a blend of practicality, affordability, and modern features, it's a popular choice for everyday driving. Let's delve into what makes the i30 tick and what potential owners should be aware of.
Some i30 owners have reported issues with the infotainment system (connectivity problems, screen freezing). The diesel models can be prone to DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues if used primarily for short journeys, preventing it from regenerating correctly. Potential buyers should also check for any unusual noises from the suspension, as wear in the suspension components.
WOF tips
Ensure tyre condition meets WOF requirements. Check all lights are functioning, including brake lights and indicators. Inspect the windscreen for cracks or chips, as these can fail a WOF. Check brakes, especially the rear brakes, as these are prone to collecting rust. Look for excessive play in steering components.
