This 2012 Hyundai has 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 9,714 miles. The mileage is low but consistent, but the MOT history is fundamentally flawed.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 7,598 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but the MOT history is highly problematic.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Jan 2025): Nearside Front Tyre has a lump, caused by separation or partial failure of its s
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded Jan 2025 — immediate safety hazard.
- Recurring tyre advisories from Jan 2020 to Jan 2026 indicate chronic neglect.
- Brake disc advisories from Jan 2020 to Jan 2026 show a pattern of deferred maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage averaging 7,598 miles/year.
- MOT valid until 2027-01-30, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety.
