AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2012 Hyundai has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 15,032 miles. However, a pattern of recurring minor failures and advisories, particularly with tyres and brakes, indicates a need for careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,189 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- Recurring tyre advisories across 4 tests (Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Nov 2024) suggest ongoing wear.
- Recurring brake system advisories across 3 tests (Dec 2022, Dec 2023, Nov 2024) indicate a pattern of wear.
- Multiple light failures (Nov 2016, Dec 2022, Dec 2023) and related advisories point to a history of electrical issues.
- The 2012 Hyundai Elantra Touring has a known history of blown brake lines under the driver seat, a significant safety concern.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-12-16, providing peace of mind for the next two years.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (4,189 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
