2012 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · WN12 AHV

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of intermittent mechanical failures. The most recent inspection on 17 December 2025 at 80,247 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the issues identified in previous tests have been successfully addressed. While the history shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain legal road use. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,732 miles per year. Data from March 2024 at 75,688 miles to March 2025 at 79,389 miles shows an accumulation of 3,701 miles over a twelve-month period. This low annual usage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity associated with low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, or internal corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in March 2024 and March 2025. Although the record for those failures does not list the specific defect codes, the recurring nature of these failures often points to minor items such as lighting bulbs, exhaust emissions, or minor suspension leaks. Given the age of the car, a thorough check of structural integrity for rust on the sills and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential, as these components perish due to age regardless of the low mileage.
