2014 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · AY14 KUN

This Hyundai i800 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all tests, including the most recent examination on 2025-07-21 at 72,557 miles. The vehicle’s roadworthiness trend remains stable, with no recurring failures or advisories to suggest deteriorating mechanical conditions. The 2024 test cycle—spanning just five days between a failure at 62,137 miles and a subsequent pass at 62,145 miles—indicates either a minor oversight in scheduling or a brief period of non-use rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or major faults have been logged, which aligns with a vehicle that has been consistently maintained at or near MOT standards. The mileage progression of approximately 6,000 miles per year over the past decade reflects typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that would raise concern for accelerated wear or neglect. The gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests—covering 6,732 miles in a year—does not deviate significantly from the overall pattern. While the 2024 failure at 62,137 miles is unusual, the immediate repass at 62,145 miles suggests it was likely a procedural or minor technical hiccup rather than a persistent fault. Given the absence of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to wear at this mileage and age. The suspension—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this era. Brake discs and calipers, though not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid acceleration or heavy loads. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be inspected for corrosion, as this model is susceptible to rust progression over time. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components should be examined for leaks or damage, as these are often overlooked but critical for compliance and performance. The lack of advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
