Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You want practical access for everyday shopping and bags: the hatchback opening may suit your routine. Check actual boot space.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 14 years old and 195,000 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Most 2012 i30 petrols are fitted with 1.4 or 1.6 naturally aspirated petrol engines and a 5- or 6-speed manual gearbox — nothing flashy, and parts are common and inexpensive in Ireland. The petrol/manual combo is simple and reliable, but as with any 14-year-old car pay particular attention to clutch wear and corrosion in typical trouble spots.
- Clutch engagement and pedal travel: test for slipping under acceleration and a consistent bite point.
- Smoothness of gear changes and any crunching or grinding into 1st/2nd — gearbox synchros can show wear on older manuals.
- Rust inspection: sills, wheelarches, rear subframe and boot floor (look under trim and at suspension mounting points).
- Oil leaks around the cam cover and sump and check for blue/grey smoke at start (sign of burning oil).
- Suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for knock/noise — worn bushes are common on higher-mileage 2012 cars.
