2017 Hyundai I40 1.7L Diesel · YN67 VCD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding braking components. The most recent test in August 2023 at 109,642 miles identified a front brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored. While the vehicle passed this inspection, it indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval following a long period of clean records. The mileage pattern reveals a significant surge in usage during the later years. Between September 2021 and August 2022, the car covered only 4,387 miles. However, between August 2022 and August 2023, the mileage increased by 69,024 miles in just twelve months. This rapid acceleration to over 60,000 miles per year explains the current high-mileage status and places a much higher strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking hardware compared to the previous lower-usage years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly, as the pitted discs noted in 2023 suggest calipers may also require attention. Given the 2021 failure due to tyre cord damage and perishing, the current condition of all rubber components should be checked for dry rot or cracking. The high-mileage profile necessitates a close look at the shock absorbers and control arm bushes, as these components often degrade rapidly after the 100,000-mile mark on this model.
