Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Hyundai I30 N Drive-N Owners
These checks follow this Hyundai I30 N Drive-N's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Hyundai I30 N Drive-N.
-
the exhaust and emissions — “catalyst emissions emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak”
Listen for a blow at idle and have someone rev it gently. Then look at the tailpipe smoke: blue is oil, white when warm is coolant, black is over-fuelling. Any of those and the emissions test is the least of it.
-
the wipers and washers — “wipers blade defective”
Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.
