2019 Hyundai I40 1.6L Diesel · YT69 FHR

Verdict for a 2019 Hyundai i40 – 59,094 mi (≈8,400 mi/yr) The most recent MOT (21 July 2025) was a FAIL . The failure list is dominated by tyre tread that is at or below the legal limit on all four wheels, with the rear‑right tyre even showing flat‑spotting and edge wear. There is also a rear tyre that is cracked or perishing, and both front and rear brake discs are reported as worn, pitted or scored – though not yet weakened. An off‑side front windscreen wiper does not clear the screen effectively, and a child seat blocked full inspection of the adult rear‑belt. This pattern of excessive tyre wear recurs in the earlier MOTs: the 2023‑11‑30 test noted front‑right and rear‑right tyres close to the legal limit, and the 2025‑07‑21 test shows all four tyres at that point. Brake disc wear appears for the first time in 2025, but the discs are already flagged as pitted. The child‑seat obstruction was also recorded in 2025. Trend analysis – The vehicle’s condition is worsening . Tyre tread has progressed from “close to legal limit” on two wheels in 2023 to “at or below legal limit” on all four wheels in 2025, indicating either a recent increase in mileage, aggressive driving, or a lack of tyre replacement. Brake disc wear is now being noted, suggesting that the braking system is approaching the point where replacement may be needed.
