2016 Hyundai i40 1.7 CRDi Diesel Estate

Description

So, I’ve had this 2016 Hyundai i40 for a few years now, and honestly, it’s been one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. It’s a diesel, 1.7L CRDi, Euro 6 compliant, and runs smooth even on long trips. The Premium trim gives it a bit of polish—clean, comfortable, and not too flashy, which I like.

I’ve had it through a full service history and it’s been checked properly—no red flags, no major repairs needed. The key features I actually use every day? Keyless entry, Bluetooth, heated steering wheel, and those heated seats—front and rear. That’s a real plus when it’s cold, especially with kids or a full load.

The front and rear parking sensors are a godsend when parking in tight spots, and the panoramic sunroof (electrically operated) adds a nice touch. I’ve got the 12-month MOT included when I sold it, so I’m not worried about that.

It’s got all the modern bits: DAB radio, sat nav, USB and aux, voice control, lane keep assist, and even a pollen filter. The seats are comfy, with memory settings and lumbar support—driver’s seat is fully adjustable. The rear seats fold easily, and there’s plenty of boot space for gear or camping stuff.

I’ve kept it well maintained, and the insurance is low, which means cheaper premiums. The wheels are 18-inch alloy, and the interior is clean with brushed chrome trim. There’s even a spare wheel (temporary), and a load cover if you’re doing long hauls.

It’s not a flashy car, but it gets the job done—comfortable, safe, and practical. I’m moving to St-Asaph, Denbighshire, and I’m thinking of keeping it for a while. It’s not flashy, but it’s solid.

Just wanted to share it with someone who might actually use it and not just keep it as a parked car. Price is £7,109.10, but that’s not what I’m focusing on—just thought I’d give a real talk about what it’s like to drive and use.
