Used wiper motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Hyundai i30 has run across three main generations: the first generation (Mk1) from 2007 to 2012, the second generation (Mk2) from 2012 to 2017 including a facelift around 2015, and the third generation (Mk3) from 2017 onwards. The front wiper motor is generation-specific, so a Mk1 motor will not be a straight swap into a Mk2 or Mk3 car. Always quote your generation or registration to the breaker so they can pull the correct unit.
Both a 2014 and a 2016 i30 fall within the Mk2 generation (2012–2017), so the front wiper motor should be compatible, but note that the Mk2 received a facelift around 2015 and it is worth confirming with the breaker whether any revision to the wiper assembly was made at that point. Provide your full registration when requesting a quote so the breaker can cross-reference their stock against your exact build date. Never assume fitment without the breaker's confirmation.
A 2011 i30 is a Mk1 (2007–2012) and a 2013 i30 is a Mk2 (2012–2017), so these sit either side of a generation boundary. Whether the wiper motor crosses that boundary is not something that can be confirmed here — take your registration to the breaker and ask them to check directly. This is exactly the kind of cross-generation question a good breaker will be able to answer quickly from their own stock data.
For wiper motors, trim level does not affect fitment — a Classic, SE, Sport or N Line i30 of the same generation will use the same front wiper motor. You may however find minor cosmetic differences such as the appearance of the wiper cowl or scuttle trim depending on the donor car, but the motor itself is trim-neutral. Focus on matching the generation and whether you need a front or rear motor rather than worrying about trim badges.
No — the front and rear wiper motors are entirely different units with different fixings, connectors and operating speeds, so they are not interchangeable. When requesting a quote on Findapart, make sure you specify front or rear clearly so the breaker supplies the correct part. The rear motor is fitted to the tailgate and is a much smaller, self-contained unit compared to the front assembly.
Engine size and fuel type have no bearing on wiper motor fitment — the same motor is used across petrol and diesel variants within the same generation. What matters is the generation of your i30 (Mk1, Mk2 or Mk3) and whether you need the front or rear motor. Give the breaker your registration and confirm front or rear, and engine details are irrelevant to their search.
