2013 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · EO13 ASV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in March 2026 at 210,864 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement after a period of instability in late 2024 and early 2025. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the previous two failures within a three-month window indicate that the owner eventually addressed specific mechanical issues to bring the car back to a legal standard. The mileage profile reflects heavy long-distance use for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles per annum. A significant surge in usage occurred between November 2023 and March 2025, where the car covered 18,134 miles in just sixteen months. This rapid accumulation likely correlates with the failures seen in December 2024 and March 2025, as high-mileage cycles accelerate the wear on chassis components. The subsequent 5,317 miles covered between the last two tests suggest the vehicle remains in use at a consistent high-frequency interval. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. Given the recent failures in 2025, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to detect excessive play. The high mileage also increases the likelihood of worn brake discs and thinning pads. Because the record shows no structural failures, the inspector should still verify the condition of the underside sills and mounting points for corrosion to ensure the years of heavy road use have not compromised the integrity of the chassis.
