2017 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · EU67 UPB

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unsafe, as the most recent MOT test was conducted in August 2024 and failed to pass the inspection. This indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical condition since the last valid test, placing the car in an unsafe condition for safe driving. The maintenance trend has been deteriorating rather than stable or improving. The test results show a clear progression of wear: the most recent test at 54,262 miles was passed, but the previous test at 46,283 miles was also passed with only minor wear on the front tyres, while the rear tyre was damaged and cracked. This sequence suggests that the owner skipped basic upkeep, leading to accelerated wear on critical components such as the rear suspension bushings and coil springs, which are prone to failure. Given these recurring structural and mechanical issues, a buyer should inspect the car in person to identify specific faults such as binding rear brakes, worn brake discs, or corrosion on exhaust components. The presence of these defects, combined with the rapid mileage accumulation over the past years, indicates a high risk of imminent failure, making the vehicle unsuitable for continued use.
