    Hyundai i30 2008: Is 240,000km a lot for a diesel?

    I’m looking at a 2008 Hyundai i30 diesel with 240,000 km on the clock; is that considered a lot for a diesel?

    No, it’s not, but it does depend somewhat on the way it’s been driven. Diesel engines in trucks and taxis do a lot of kilometres, partly because they are running all the time and rarely cooling down, but a family car driven around town does a lot of sitting around not going anywhere, which means it regularly cools down and warms up again. That leads to engine wear, and lower engine life. I wouldn't expect 240,000 km to be an issue.
