2016 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · EG16 WMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 87,286 miles resulted in a pass, the previous history indicates a pattern of failures related to safety equipment. The transition from a failure in 2024 to a clean pass in the latest inspection suggests that identified defects were addressed only after they failed the MOT standard. The mileage profile is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a recorded gap of roughly 10,000 miles between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 8,200 miles accumulated between December 2024 and December 2025. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the condition of seals and rubber-based components compared to long periods of static storage. A prospective buyer must pay close attention to the parking brake system, which was flagged for low efficiency in both late 2023 and 2024. This recurring fault indicates potential issues with the adjustment mechanism or cable tension that require a thorough inspection. Additionally, the 2025 advisory notes surface corrosion on the underside; while not yet a failure, this requires a physical inspection of the chassis to ensure that surface rust is not progressing into deep structural decay. The 2024 failure also highlighted incorrect headlampion and uneven tyre wear on the nearside front, which suggests previous issues with suspension geometry or wheel alignment. The buyer should verify that the current tyres show even wear and that the headlamps are correctly aligned to avoid future failures or driving hazards.
