2016 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · EJ16 YTP

The 2016 Hyundai i40 presents a broadly stable maintenance profile, passing its most recent MOT on 13 August 2025 at 104,211 miles with only minor tyre wear advisories. The nearside front tyre sat at 3mm and the offside front at 3.5mm, both flagged as worn close to the legal limit. These are consumable items and not indicative of deeper mechanical neglect, though they do suggest the owner deferred replacement right up to the test threshold. The overall trend across the record is one of steady, uneventful compliance rather than escalating or recurring structural faults. The mileage accumulation of roughly 10,400 miles per year sits squarely within the typical range for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing from April 2023 through August 2025, with no significant gaps in the MOT schedule. Mileage progression from 90,375 miles in April 2023 to 104,211 miles in August 2025 reflects regular use without prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden spikes that might raise odometer concerns. The data set is clean and complete enough to give confidence in the recorded history. A buyer should pay close attention to the front tyre condition and budget for immediate replacement given the advisory readings at the last test. The April 2024 test flagged a nearside rear service brake binding, which was not repeated in 2025, suggesting it was addressed, but a physical inspection of the rear calipers and handbrake mechanism is still advisable to confirm free movement. The repeated windscreen damage advisories in 2023 and 2024, while noted as not affecting the driver's view, warrant a close look for any spread or new chips that could fail a fresh test. The April 2023 failure for an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp and a rough nearside front wheel bearing indicates those items were rectified before the retest two days later, but checking for any residual play or noise at the front hub remains prudent. Beyond the flagged items, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion is recommended given the vehicle's age, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines. The tyre-related advisories and minor defects across the record point to a vehicle that was kept roadworthy but not cosmetically pampered. There is no evidence of serious structural compromise or unresolved mechanical failure in the supplied history, making this a sound prospect subject to standard pre-purchase checks.
