2015 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · SH15 ORJ

The vehicle presents in a generally roadworthy condition with a stable and improving maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 113,655 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that all mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes since 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed identified issues promptly as they arose. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. Between January 2021 at 52,282 miles and February 2026 at 113,655 miles, the car covered over 61,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than extreme periods of neglect or high-intensity strain. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that suggest the vehicle sat idle for long periods, which helps mitigate the risk of perished seals or internal corrosion often associated with long-term stationary cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with wear. The January 2021 failure at 52,277 miles highlighted significantly worn inner front discs and fluctuating brakes, while earlier tests noted thin pads. While these appear to have been rectified, a prospective buyer should check for any judder under heavy braking or uneven pad wear on the rotors to ensure the components were not replaced with low-quality parts. Given the mileage has surpassed 110,000 miles, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is advisable, as the MOT record does not specifically track the gradual degradation of these chassis components until they reach a failure state.
