2017 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · EO17 AAY

A consistent record of roadworthiness is evident, though intermittent failures regarding lighting and engine management have appeared. The most recent test on 14 March 2026 was a clean pass with no defects, following a period of instability in early 2025 where headlamp aim issues caused a failure. This pattern suggests a vehicle that generally meets standards but has required specific corrections to maintain compliance. With 51,134 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,682 miles per year. This low annual accumulation indicates lighter use than typical for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this suggests lower wear on primary drivetrain components and suspension bushings, though it may also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary between journeys. Attention should be paid to the engine management system, as a failure was recorded in April 2023 due to an inoperative or malfunctioning engine MIL. During a test drive, ensure no warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard and that the engine idles smoothly without hesitation. The lighting system also requires verification, specifically the headlamp beam alignment and the clarity of the direction indicators, which were previously flagged as discoloured or incorrectly aimed. Brake pad wear was noted as an advisory in 2021, and a rear tyre was flagged as worn to the markers in early 2025. A prospective buyer should inspect the current tread depth of all tyres, particularly the offside rear, and listen for any grinding or squealing during braking that would indicate the pads have reached their wear limit. Check for any steering pull or vibration that could suggest uneven tyre wear or alignment issues.
