2019 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · HS19 TZP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 01 August 2025 at 64,495 miles, but the maintenance trend leading up to that pass is a cause for concern. Just eleven days prior, on 21 July 2025 at 64,478 miles, the tester flagged a cluster of serious defects: both headlamps were inoperative on dipped beam, the upper stop lamp was partially functioning, and critically, the front brake pads were below minimum thickness with worn and pitted discs. The offside front service brake was also lagging in operation. This pattern of multiple simultaneous failures, followed by a rapid re-test pass, suggests the issues were rectified only at the last minute rather than through consistent preventative upkeep. The record points to a reactive maintenance approach, not a proactive one. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for a seven-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 9,200 miles per year. The data shows a notable gap between the January 2025 test at 55,960 miles and the August 2025 test at 64,495 miles, representing an 8,535-mile accumulation in just over six months. This indicates a period of heavier use following a quieter phase. The MOT history itself is relatively sparse for a vehicle of this type, with only five recorded tests since January 2024, and the mileage appears to have plateaued exactly at the most recent pass figure, warranting scrutiny of the current odometer reading. A buyer should approach this vehicle with a focused mechanical inspection. The recurring headlamp and stop lamp failures point to potential electrical gremlins, poor earth connections, or a history of aftermarket bulb replacements that need tracing. The July 2025 failure for critically worn front pads and pitted discs, combined with a lagging offside service brake, demands a thorough inspection of the entire braking system. The calipers should be checked for seizure or sluggage, and the condition of the rear brakes must be verified given the noted lag. The persistent advisory for slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing, flagged in both January and January 2025, requires immediate attention as it indicates progressive wear. Finally, the repeated inability to fully inspect the nearside rear adult belt due to a child seat being fitted is a recurring obstruction that prevents a complete safety assessment of that seating position.
