2016 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · RV16 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean record across recent inspections. The most recent test conducted on 30 May 2025 at 138,561 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at its last formal assessment. The lack of recurring failures in the documented history suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a functional standard. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,800 miles per year over its decade-long life. A significant surge occurred between August 2023 at 92,051 miles and May 2025 at 138,561 miles, where the vehicle covered 46,500 miles in just under two years. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance motorway driving, which typically results in less wear on the clutch and brakes compared to city driving but places a higher linear load on the drivetrain and suspension components. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage wear items that do not always trigger a failure. A thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary, as these components often degrade after 120,000 miles. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear and examine the underside for any signs of structural corrosion that may not have been noted during the previous testing cycles.
