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 12 MOT tests on record with a 92% pass rate and 10,327 miles. The car's history shows a consistent but low annual mileage, which is a positive, but the repeated tyre issues and a recent brake advisory are significant concerns.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 4,287 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 2022 service gap is noted.
Things to check
- Recent Jan 2026 MOT advisory for both front brake disc and pad wear signals immediate upcoming costs.
- A 2022 service gap in MOT history is a concern for vehicle maintenance and potential neglect.
- The 2012 Hyundai model has a history of timing chain and connecting rod failures, which is a significant long-term risk.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
- Most recent MOT passed despite 1 historical failure
- Valid MOT until January 2027 provides peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
- Consistent low annual mileage (4,287 miles/yr) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
