2019 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · CF19 PBU

A reasonably clean roadworthiness profile emerges from the MOT history of this 2019 Hyundai i800, with six tests recorded since 2022 and the most recent examination on 10 July 2026 returning a pass with no advisories or defects noted. The preceding test on 7 August 2025 was similarly clean, suggesting the vehicle has stabilised following a brief cluster of issues around 2025. That cluster included a failure on 22 February 2025 with three majors covering an inoperative engine management indicator lamp, an inoperative registration plate lamp, and restricted free movement of the brake lever, all of which are repairable items rather than structural concerns. Prior to that, an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn to 3 mm on 6 April 2024 and a nearside registration plate lamp minor defect suggest some attention to lighting and tyres has been required, but no recurring structural or corrosion advisories appear in the record. With 65,644 miles accumulated over roughly seven years, the vehicle runs at approximately 9,378 miles per year, which is broadly typical for its age and consistent with the demands placed on a large MPV. There are no extended gaps between tests that would imply long periods off the road, and the relatively steady annual mileage suggests regular use rather than the very low accumulation that can lead to issues with seized components or fluid degradation. The test history runs annually from March 2022 through to July 2026 with no missing years, which provides a continuous record to assess wear progression. The brake lever free movement restriction flagged in February 2025 is worth scrutinising on a test drive. With the engine running and the parking brake applied, release it slowly and check that the lever returns fully to its off position without sticking; restricted movement can indicate corroded cables, a binding ratchet mechanism, or issues with the rear caliper self-adjusters. On the road, heavy pedal application should produce firm, progressive stopping without pulling to either side, and any judder through the pedal under braking would warrant inspection of the front discs. The engine management lamp issue recorded at the same test should be confirmed resolved by checking that the MIL extinguishes promptly after ignition and does not illuminate at idle or under acceleration; a persistent or intermittent lamp could indicate an underlying sensor or emissions fault that was not fully diagnosed at the time. Lighting and tyre wear items form the other thread in the history. Both the offside front position lamp failure in March 2023 and the registration plate lamp defects in 2024 and 2025 point to a pattern of relatively minor electrical gremlins, possibly relating to bulb holder corrosion or earth connections, which is worth checking by walking around the vehicle with all lighting switched on. The offside front tyre advisory in March 2023 noted heavy outer edge wear, which can suggest a tracking or camber issue; on inspection, measure the tread across the full width of the tyres and look for feathering or uneven shoulder wear, as any recurrence would justify a four-wheel alignment check. Overall, the record presents no structural or corrosion concerns, and the recent clean pass supports the vehicle's ongoing roadworthiness, though a careful buyer should verify the resolution of the brake and emissions items flagged in early 2025.
