2013 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · FN13 GZW

The Hyundai i40 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 May 2025 at 169,415 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes in May 2024 at 163,045 miles and May 2023 at 151,688 miles. The only blemish is a failure on 2 May 2023 at 151,320 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or unclassified rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the last three annual cycles the vehicle has cleared without advisories on brakes, suspension, emissions, or structure. At approximately 13 years old the car carries 169,415 miles, averaging 13,032 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to sustained motorway or commuter use rather than short local trips. Mileage advanced from 144,862 in April 2022 to 151,320 by May 2023, then to 163,045 in May 2024 and 169,415 in May 2025, a consistent yearly climb near 8,000 to 12,000 miles with no standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only the single anomaly failure and otherwise clean sheets, so the record implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current but discloses little about component-level wear. A buyer should still inspect in person the items the MOT does not capture. High mileage at this age wears coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs even when testers log no advisories. Check for corrosion on sills and subframes, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The May 2023 failure with no defects recorded warrants a check of the original refusal reason to rule out a withdrawn test or documentation error before purchase.
