2014 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · SB64 LVE

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until November 2026, indicating a generally stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 79,714 miles resulted in a pass, although the same day initially recorded a failure for a split nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. The immediate retest suggests the owner rectified this minor suspension issue promptly. Aside from this isolated incident, the car has maintained a clean record over the last three years without recurring mechanical defects. Mileage accumulation appears consistent and low for the vehicle's age. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the odometer increased from 70,802 miles to 79,714 miles, covering approximately 8,912 miles over three years. This averages under 3,000 miles annually, suggesting light usage rather than heavy daily commuting. The lack of significant gaps in the testing schedule supports the likelihood of a vehicle kept in regular, albeit gentle, service. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and tyres. The November 2022 test flagged an offside front tyre worn very close to the legal limit, which implies previous owners delayed replacing consumables. While the anti-roll bar linkage was repaired in 2025, checking for any play in the front suspension components is prudent given the recent wear item. Tyre tread depth and condition remain a priority, as the history indicates a tendency to run rubber down to the minimum legal requirement before replacement.
