Title: 2 i30s, 15 Years, Half A Million Miles (Mostly Of Smiles)
Post by: marti30 on February 18, 2025, 16:21:33

I bought my current pd i30 7 years ago. Its mileage of 214,000 miles may not be outstanding but what I think is remarkable is that it's still on its original brake pads and discs front and rear (it recently passed it's MoT UK roadworthiness test). As its fd predecessor (also a 6 speed manual 1.6crdi 5 door hatch) gave me 288,000 miles I've driven a combined half a million miles in these two cars in fifteen years. Servicing for both has always been carried out by a small independent garage every 20,000 miles.

214,000 miles is a LOT in 7 years. Well done little i30s!
