About the Hyundai i30

Enter the 17-character VIN of a Hyundai i30 and the free decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data for the i30 covers model years 2007 to 2024, three body styles (Hatchback, Wagon and Coupe) and power from 90 to 280 hp. It lists 20 versions, from Hyundai i30 I and Hyundai i30 I CW to Hyundai i30 II Coupe (facelift 2015) and Hyundai i30 III CW.

A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft or previous owners, so the decoder cannot show any of that. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report, and on a car you are viewing you should check that the VIN on the plate, the windscreen and the registration documents all match.
