HYUNDAI I402017 · 1.7L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 14 September 2023 at 83,558 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the three previous tests, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep and a lack of recurring faults. Mileage accumulation has remained steady and typical for a nine year old vehicle. The distance increased by 10,179 miles between August 2022 and September 2023, following a slightly higher jump of 12,262 miles between August 2021 and August 2022. These figures suggest regular use rather than periods of prolonged standing, which generally helps maintain the health of seals and battery life. The absence of any advisories across four consecutive tests is uncommon and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owners. There are no recorded trends of failing consumables, such as tyre tread or brake pads, nor any mentions of suspension bush wear or exhaust emissions issues. A physical inspection should still focus on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that develop rapidly. Check for any emerging corrosion on the underbody and inspect the condition of the brake discs for pitting. Given the mileage, verifying the service history for timing belt or drive belt replacements is recommended to ensure the drivetrain remains reliable.
