2017 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · OV17 FSK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in January 2023 at 89,729 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating the car was in a good mechanical state at that time. While the MOT record is now over three years out of date, the preceding data suggests a vehicle that has been generally maintained well without recurring major failures or escalating structural issues. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. A significant interval of 14,455 miles was covered between February 2022 and January 2023, which represents a higher rate of use compared to the previous period where 15,090 miles were recorded between May 2021 and February 2022. This consistency suggests the car has seen regular, predictable use, which is typically beneficial for keeping seals lubricated and preventing components from the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the February 2022 test flagged thin rear brake pads. Although this was resolved prior to the clean pass in 2023, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and check discs for pitting or scoring. Given the time elapsed since the last official test, a thorough check of the undercarriage for corrosion and suspension bushing wear is essential, as these areas were not highlighted in the earlier records but are prone to wear at this mileage threshold.
