Hyundai I40 Style Blue Drive CRDI (2014)
2014 Hyundai I40 Style Blue Drive CRDI
CarHunch analysed 289 real MOT records for the 2014 Hyundai I40 Style Blue Drive CRDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2014 Hyundai i40 Style Blue Drive Crdi has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 55.9%, well below the UK average of 80%, which signals genuine reliability concerns for this model and year. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, so while these cars fail their MOTs, they're not failing in ways that pose an immediate safety risk.
With a median mileage of around 95,000 miles for a ten-year-old car, these vehicles have been driven moderately hard, and the average of 0.63 failures per test suggests wear-related issues are catching up with the model—most likely suspension, exhaust, or brake components. Before committing to one, budget for a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist, since the failures aren't clustered around one catastrophic issue but scattered across typical wear items.
What to check before buying a 2014 Hyundai I40 Style Blue Drive CRDI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
