2019 Hyundai I800 2.5L Diesel · OO06 PRJ

The most recent MOT, carried out on 20 December 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions requirements at that time. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only a single failure recorded in June 2023 for an off‑side headlamp aim that was evidently remedied before the next test. This suggests a stable, if not slightly improving, maintenance regime, assuming the owner addressed the headlamp issue promptly and has kept up with routine servicing. At seven years old the Hyundai i800 has logged 41,499 miles, which works out to roughly 5,900 miles per annum – well below the average UK usage of around 10‑12 000 miles per year. Such low annual mileage often points to light duty or periods of prolonged storage. While reduced wear on drivetrain components, brakes and suspension can be an advantage, it also raises the possibility that the vehicle may have spent extended periods idle, which can accelerate age‑related deterioration of rubber, fluid seals and battery health. For a low‑mileage, lightly used van the buyer should give particular attention to age‑related items. Inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking, dry rot or uneven wear that could indicate mis‑alignment; tread depth should be measured even if the tyres appear relatively new. Examine the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulphation or reduced cranking power, especially if the vehicle has been stored for long stretches – a load test or voltage check is advisable. Check the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion, pitting or glazing, and verify that the calipers move freely without binding; any squeal or pulsation under braking would warrant a more thorough inspection. Because fluids degrade over calendar time as well as mileage, confirm that engine oil, brake fluid, coolant and power‑steering fluid have been changed in accordance with the manufacturer’s time‑based service intervals. Look for any leaks around the oil sump, valve cover gaskets and the rear axle, and inspect the under‑body for rust, particularly in wheel arches and suspension mounting points. Finally, review the service book for documented oil changes, filter replacements and any major scheduled maintenance; a complete record will reinforce confidence that the vehicle’s low mileage has not been offset by neglect of routine upkeep.
