Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent mecha
When inspecting this I40, focus heavily on the suspension system. The February 2026 failure highlighted worn suspension arm pins/bushes on both the nearside and offside rear, as well as a shock absorber with negligible damping. You should verify if these specific components were replaced following that failure.
Additionally, check the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), as this was flagged as malfunctioning in early 2026. Ensure the tyres currently fitted have ample tread depth, given the history of failures for being below the 1.6mm legal limit. Finally, ask for evidence of recent brake servicing, as a fluctuating front service brake was noted in the 2024 MOT.
As a 1.7L diesel, this I40 is designed for higher motorway mileage, which likely accounts for its current 144,628-mile reading. Fuel economy should be relatively efficient for its size, though actual costs will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and mileage, specifically regarding suspension wear and tyre replacements. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements such as timing belt changes (if applicable) and fuel filter replacements. Annual running costs will include fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for periodic mechanical repairs.
A thorough inspection of the underside is essential. Specifically, look for signs of wear in the rear suspension bushes and the condition of the front shock absorbers, following the failure recorded in February 2026. Check that the anti-roll bar dust covers are intact to avoid a repeat of the 2025 failure.
Test the braking performance carefully to ensure the 'fluctuating' brake issue noted in January 2024 has been addressed. You should also check the dashboard for any TPMS warning lights and verify that all four tyres meet legal tread depth requirements.
This 2015 white Hyundai I40 diesel has covered 144,628 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle has a recorded history of MOT failures, specifically concerning suspension components and tyre tread depth. While it passed its most recent test, the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 9,053 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 81.5% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres, anti-roll bars, and brake pads.
