2017 Hyundai I40 S Crdi Blue Drive Heavy oil · EG17 ACY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on a clean MOT record across its entire history. The most recent test conducted in September 2022 at 75,956 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests that the previous owners maintained the mechanical and safety components to a standard that met DVSA requirements without failure, indicating a consistent level of basic upkeep. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 32,927 miles in 2019 to 62,370 miles in 2021, followed by another 13,586 miles leading to the 2022 test. This linear usage suggests typical commuting patterns rather than long periods of sitting stationary or excessive heavy use, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals, bushings, and brake components that can suffer from dry rot or corrosion on under-used cars. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components that are not monitored during the annual test. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of perishing or cracking. The MOT only flags these once they reach a failure threshold. One should also examine the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting, and inspect the structural integrity of the underbody to ensure no significant surface corrosion has begun to develop despite the clean record.
