2018 Hyundai Iload 2.5L Diesel · FY18 EOP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 at 131,424 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues. Previous tests from 2025-03-24 (109,444 miles) and 2024-03-16 (95,717 miles) were both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record in earlier years. However, the rapid mileage increase from 95,717 to 131,424 miles over 25 months—equivalent to 14,650 miles annually—raises concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, which are not fully assessed in MOTs. The vehicle’s mileage trajectory shows a sharp rise post-2024, with 21,980 miles added between 2025-03-24 and 2026-04-02. This exceeds typical annual usage for its age, suggesting heavy usage or possible odometer manipulation. The lack of defects in MOTs does not confirm mechanical integrity, as critical areas like exhaust emissions, structural corrosion, and drivetrain health are not tested. The 2025-03-17 failure at 109,241 miles, paired with a pass three days later at 109,444 miles, implies inconsistent testing or unresolved issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the high mileage. Suspension components, including shock absorbers and control arms, may show wear from prolonged use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Additionally, verifying service records for oil changes, brake fluid replacements, and tyre rotations could reveal maintenance patterns that align with the vehicle’s usage history.
