This 2013 Hyundai has 13 MOT tests on record with a 77% pass rate and 20,496 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated issues with safety-critical components suggest potential underlying neglect or poor maintenance.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage averaging 5,331 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but this is below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- Dangerous tyre defect recorded on 2024-10-16 (test 10) — immediate safety concern.
- Recurring brake failures: 5 major failures across 2020, 2021, and 2024, with advisories for binding brakes.
- Recurring handbrake failures: 2 major failures in 2020 and 2021, with advisories for efficiency.
- Recurring tyre wear advisories: 4 separate tyre wear advisories between 2016 and 2018, escalating to dangerous defect in 2024.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-16, indicating current roadworthiness.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,331 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the MOT history.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
