2018 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · EK18 AAN

Recurring tyre wear and emerging suspension degradation define the mechanical record of this vehicle. While it achieved a pass on 14 January 2026, this followed a failure for a non-functional nearside front position lamp and left several advisories regarding the front tyres and suspension. The pattern of front tyres wearing on the edges, noted in both 2023 and 2026, suggests a persistent issue with wheel alignment or tracking that has not been fully rectified. The recorded mileage of 77,638 miles over approximately eight years represents a typical annual accumulation of roughly 9,700 miles. This usage profile indicates consistent road use rather than periods of prolonged standing or excessive heavy-duty cycling. Mechanically, this level of mileage typically coincides with the expected wear cycle for consumable items such as brake pads and suspension bushings, both of which have appeared in the testing history. Particular attention must be paid to the front end of the vehicle during a physical inspection. The advisory for a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush should be investigated; during a test drive, listen for knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or when initiating steering inputs. The repeated mention of front tyres worn on the edges warrants a close inspection of the tread pattern to determine if camber or toe settings are incorrect, as this will lead to premature tyre replacement. The brake system requires verification, as both front brake pads were recorded as wearing thin in January 2025. A test drive should focus on pedal feel and the absence of any judder or pulling under braking. Additionally, the 2023 record of a slightly distorted nearside rear road wheel should be checked for any resulting vibration through the chassis at motorway speeds, as structural wheel distortion can affect long-term tyre wear and ride quality.
