2019 Hyundai I40 1.6L Diesel · YT69 FHP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding consumable upkeep. While it passed its latest test in April 2026 at 87,551 miles, the tester flagged advisories for both the nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. This follows a pattern established in April 2025 at 76,353 miles, where the nearside rear tyre was noted for similar wear. The clean reports from 2024 suggest a brief period of better maintenance, but recent entries indicate neglected tyre management. The mileage profile reflects high-intensity usage, averaging 12,500 miles per year over the seven-year period. There is a significant spike in activity between April 2024 and April 2025, where the vehicle covered 12,723 miles in just twelve months. Since then, the car has covered another 11,198 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This consistent high mileage puts accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. The 2024 failure for an incorrect headlamp aim was a minor adjustment issue that was quickly resolved before the passing test. However, a buyer must focus on the recurring tyre wear patterns, as uneven edge wear across multiple axles often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage, a thorough physical inspection of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and brake discs is essential to ensure the mechanical components have not reached the end of their functional life.
