FAQs About Used Hyundai Cars in the UK

1. How reliable are used Hyundai cars, especially popular models like the i30, Tucson, and Kona?
Used Hyundais generally have a good reputation for reliability, but some models and years have reported specific issues. For example, the Hyundai i30 is mostly reliable, though some owners report minor electrical problems and sensor issues. The Tucson mild hybrid models from around 2019-2020 have had notable problems with the crankshaft pulley and fan belt tensioners leading to engine failures, which have caused significant warranty claims and delays in repairs. Overall, reliability varies by model and year, so checking specific issues is important.

2. What common mechanical or technical problems should I watch for in used Hyundai vehicles?
Common issues reported by owners include:

• Engine faults such as crankshaft pulley failures on mild hybrid Tucsons.

• Idle control valve problems (noted in Sonata models).

• Electrical faults like ABS warning lights, sensor malfunctions, and alarm activations.

• Worn brake pads not always detected before sale.

• Gearbox fluid changes and occasional gearbox issues.

• Problems with fuel injectors and diesel particulate filters (DPF) in diesel models.

• Specific sensor issues like diff oil air bubbles affecting LSD sensors in performance models like the i30N.

3. Are there any known warranty or repair challenges with used Hyundai cars?
Yes, some owners have experienced difficulties with warranty claims, especially for mild hybrid Tucson engine faults. Delays in parts supply from Korea and dealer reluctance to repair if previous servicing was not at official dealerships have been reported. Some customers have had to escalate complaints to the UK Motor Ombudsman due to long repair times and poor customer service. If you are experiencing any issues with a pre-owned Hyundai, book a car service with us, where our team of experts will be able to diagnose and fix the issues you are experiencing. 

4. What should I consider regarding maintenance costs and service history when buying a used Hyundai?
It is important to ensure the car has a full service history, ideally serviced at official Hyundai dealerships, as some dealers may refuse warranty repairs if this is not the case. Regular maintenance such as brake pad checks, gearbox fluid changes, and fuel filter replacements are essential. Buyers should be aware that wear-and-tear items like brake pads may be worn on purchase, so a thorough inspection is recommended.

5. How is the interior quality and technology in used Hyundai cars?
Hyundai interiors are generally well-equipped for the price, but some owners report minor issues with infotainment systems, Bluetooth connectivity, and occasional electronic glitches. Features like parking sensors and cameras vary by trim, so checking these is advisable. Some owners have also noted annoyances with alarm sensitivity and switchgear quality.
