2014 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · EX64 ERY

The 2014 Hyundai i40 presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT, conducted on 23 October 2025 at 92,891 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, following a pattern of consistent passes in 2024 and 2023, indicates no active mechanical or structural deterioration at the point of last inspection. The record suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets the UK roadworthiness threshold without requiring remedial work. The mileage progression is steady and entirely typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the October 2023 test at 81,717 miles and the October 2024 test at 86,907 miles, the car covered 5,190 miles. The following year, up to the October 2025 test at 92,891 miles, it added a further 5,984 miles. This averages roughly 5,500 miles per annum over the last two recorded years, aligning with the overall lifetime average of approximately 7,741 miles per year. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest prolonged standing or severe use. Despite the clean MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that degrade with age and mileage, even when they pass a static test. The front suspension lower arm rear bushes and drop link gaiters on these models are prone to perishing, so check for play and cracking. Inspect the rear brake discs and pads for lipping and uneven wear, as the rear calipers on the i40 can drag intermittently. Examine the subframes and inner wing arches for corrosion, particularly if the car has spent time in a coastal or salted region. A short drive will reveal any binding handbrake or uneven tyre wear indicative of tracking issues that may not manifest during a stationary MOT check.
