2016 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · EU16 YPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 February 2026 at 79,826 miles. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2025 and 2026, the current mechanical state appears stable. The maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to rectifying immediate faults, yet the latest test returned a clean sheet with no recorded advisories or defects, suggesting that previous issues were addressed. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 70,867 miles and the March 2025 test at 75,470 miles, the car covered 4,603 miles. A further 4,356 miles were logged prior to the February 2026 test. This steady, low-intensity usage suggests regular operation which typically prevents excessive wear on drivetrain components and heavy suspension fatigue compared to high-mileage fleet examples. A buyer should investigate the specific causes of the failures in March 2025 and February 2026, as the provided data does not specify the exact defects. Since the car passed immediately after, these were likely consumable items like bulbs, wipers, or minor exhaust leaks that were quickly repaired. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the sills and the condition of the suspension bushes to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing despite the clean recent MOT results.
