2015 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · DV65 OSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of instability following a significant failure in early 2023. While the most recent result indicates that immediate issues have been addressed, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance where components are only replaced once they reach failure limits rather than through preventative servicing. At approximately 11 years old, the recorded 146,157 miles represent an average usage of over 13,000 miles per year. This indicates consistent, high-mileage operation which typically accelerates the wear of mechanical and rubber components. There is a notable gap of over 12,000 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 12,000 miles in the final year, suggesting the vehicle is in regular use and faces constant strain on the drivetrain and suspension systems. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as worn suspension arm pins and bushes were flagged in 2024. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, including thin pads, worn discs, a binding nearside rear brake, and a previously inoperative brake servo in 2023. A physical inspection is required to ensure these faults have been fully rectified and that the binding brake has not caused heat damage or excessive wear. Furthermore, the recurring advisories regarding tyres worn close to the legal limit in 2023 and 2025 suggest potential alignment issues or a continued lack of proactive tyre management. Given the high mileage and the previous low oil level noted during the 2023 failure, a thorough service history check is essential to ensure the engine has been maintained according to the high demands of its usage.
