2015 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · AGZ 2708

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2025 at 127,257 miles flagged significant deterioration of the rubber dust covers on both front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. Furthermore, the tester noted that the offside rear brakes only just met efficiency requirements, suggesting the braking system is nearing a state that requires intervention. While the car has passed its tests, the recurring nature of mechanical advisories suggests that components are only addressed once they approach legal failure limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's eleven-year age, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. Between the December 2022 failure and the December 2025 test, the vehicle showed consistent usage, covering over 37,000 miles. This steady accumulation explains the progressive wear observed on consumables like brake components and tyres. There is no evidence of long periods of standing, but the high mileage of over 127,000 miles places significant demand on the drivetrain and suspension components, which are showing age in the record. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The deterioration of the anti-roll bar linkage boots indicates that the ball joints may be nearing failure, which would eventually lead to knocking noises and poor handling. The history shows that front brake discs and pads were flagged as worn or pitted in 2022 and 2023; the buyer must verify the current thickness of these discs and check for uneven wear which indicates sticking calipers. Additionally, the repeated advisories regarding tyres worn on the inner edges or near the legal limit, as seen in 2022 and 2024, point to a persistent alignment issue or worn control arm bushings that are causing premature tyre degradation.
