2012 Hyundai I40 1.6L Petrol · SL12 AAN

The Hyundai i40 holds a valid MOT pass dated 17 December 2025 at 92,765 miles, confirming current legal roadworthiness. The maintenance trend across the recorded history reads as stable, with no defects or advisories logged at any test. Two failures precede that latest pass: the tester failed the car on 5 December 2025 at 92,734 miles and earlier on 20 November 2024 at 87,530 miles, both with no defects recorded. This pattern does not indicate worsening mechanical condition but flags a recurring administrative or non-mechanical compliance anomaly that the keeper resolved within days each time. Mileage advanced from 81,525 at the 15 November 2023 pass to 87,547 at the 6 December 2024 pass, then to 92,765 by the December 2025 tests. Annual use averaged near 5,500 to 6,000 miles, aligning with the typical 6,626 miles per year for a 2012 vehicle. The record shows no abrupt accumulation or long dormant periods; twelve-month test gaps reflect ordinary private use. Sparse entries and zero advisories suggest the previous owner kept consumables within limits, though the twin zero-defect fails hint that basic upkeep or paperwork may have slipped at renewal times. A buyer should still arrange a hands-on inspection of age-sensitive components the MOT omitted. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for fatigue, as fourteen years of service can disguise minor cracking or binding calipers not captured in a clean sheet. Check structural integrity underneath for corrosion, particularly around sills and subframes, despite absence of recorded rust. Confirm the exact causes of the November 2024 and December 2025 failures with DVSA documents to ensure no minor items like wiper blades or tyre tread were overlooked by the tester.
