2013 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · EX13 XPC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance trend evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes from 2022 to 2025. The most recent test on 2025-07-11 at 177,449 miles confirmed no defects, reinforcing consistent compliance. A single failure on 2023-07-13 at 170,542 miles was recorded without specific defects, suggesting a potential technical anomaly or administrative error. Subsequent tests show no recurring issues, indicating the vehicle has maintained acceptable standards. The mileage of 177,449 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 13,650 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. Notable gaps include a 5,678-mile increase between the 2022-01-11 test (164,294 miles) and the 2023-07-18 test (170,553 miles), reflecting accelerated usage. This pattern implies frequent operation, which may have expedited wear on consumables and mechanical systems. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no advisories or critical failures, though the high mileage necessitates scrutiny of components prone to degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high usage can accelerate deterioration. The exhaust system and structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, warrant attention to identify hidden rust or fatigue. While the MOT records show no immediate concerns, these areas are critical for long-term reliability and should be verified by a qualified mechanic.
