2015 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · AY15 KTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in October 2025 at 55,991 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse evidenced by a failure just five days prior to that pass. The failed test at 55,987 miles identified multiple critical defects, including an inoperative engine management light, a faulty nearside headlamp, and thin rear brake pads. While these issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the failure suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive servicing. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 43,442 miles and the October 2024 test at 51,908 miles, the car covered 8,466 miles. This low annual usage suggests light travel, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of standing can also lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to lack of regular use. A buyer must pay close attention to the electrical system to ensure the engine management light fault was properly resolved and not a symptom of deeper wiring issues. The nearside headlamp failure also warrants an inspection of the bulb housing and adjustment mechanism for moisture ingress. Given the low mileage and the reported thin brake pads in 2025, the brake discs should be checked for surface pitting or seized calipers, which are common on low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
