2015 Hyundai Iload 2.5L Diesel · WD64 TVA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following its March 2026 test at 71,860 miles, but the maintenance trend is clearly worsening. The most recent test recorded three tyre-related failures — all three front tyres were worn close to or beyond legal limits, with a nail embedded in the offside front tyre. This follows a prior failure just eight days earlier, where the same tyres and a worn prop shaft bearing were flagged. The recurrence of tyre wear, especially on multiple fronts, suggests either neglect in rotation or alignment, or possibly underlying suspension issues causing uneven wear. The fact that the same tyres failed twice in a short window indicates a persistent problem rather than a one-off oversight. Mileage progression shows a steady annual average of around 6,500 miles over eleven years, which is reasonable for a commercial van of this age. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests — roughly 8,000 miles over 12 months — is slightly higher than the long-term average, but not alarming. The most notable jump occurred between March 2025 and March 2026, where the odometer increased by 5,526 miles in just one year. This rapid accumulation, combined with the repeated tyre and suspension failures, raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven heavily or stored for periods, then suddenly put under strain. The 2024 test at 58,433 miles was clean, suggesting the vehicle was well maintained until the 2025 failure, after which the pattern of issues escalated. Buyers should inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment closely, as the repeated tyre wear on multiple fronts — especially when combined with the failed prop shaft bearing — points to misalignment or worn bushes. The fractured offside rear leaf spring from the 2025 test is a structural concern that should be examined for any associated frame damage or rust. Brake components, particularly the rear pads flagged in 2025, should be checked for wear and binding calipers, as these can affect stopping performance. The engine MIL light in 2025, though not repeated in 2026, warrants a diagnostic scan to rule out persistent emissions or drivetrain faults. Tyre condition should be verified in person — the tread depth and sidewall integrity must be confirmed, as the MOT record suggests the tyres are near or below legal limits. The vehicle’s mechanical health is currently compromised by recurring tyre and suspension issues, with no evidence of resolution between tests. While the 2026 MOT is passed, the underlying causes — uneven wear, structural fatigue, and potential alignment faults — remain unaddressed. A buyer should treat this as a vehicle requiring immediate inspection of the front suspension, rear axle assembly, and brake systems, and budget for tyre replacement and possible alignment or suspension component renewal. The history suggests the previous owner may have deferred maintenance, and the current condition reflects that pattern.
