Petrol against the other Hyundai I40 versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|

| Petrol | 70.4% | 284 |
| All Hyundai I40 | 76.2% | 21,150 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Hyundai I40 specifically, diesel is the strongest at 76.3%, and this petrol version sits 5.8 points below the 76.2% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Hyundai I40 fails more often than the model average, so budget for the items that catch this fuel type and treat a fresh MOT as worth paying for. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Hyundai I40 had covered 80,936 miles at test, against 98,345 for the diesel. That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Hyundai I40 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
