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 16 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 872 miles. This, combined with three unexplained MOT failures and a history of severe engine and transmission issues, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows a critical drop in usage before 2016, averaging only 115 miles/year equivalent, and a total of 33,599 miles over 14 years, which is significantly below the UK average of 8,000 miles/year.
Things to check
- Mileage significantly below UK average: 33,599 miles over 14 years (Jan 2012 to Aug 2025).
- Critical drop in usage before 2016: 115 miles/year equivalent (Mar 2016 reading).
- Three unexplained MOT failures (Aug 2018, Aug 2022, Aug 2025) with no defect details.
- Very low annual mileage (2,466 miles/yr) suggests long periods of inactivity or potential odometer issues.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 18 Aug 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
- Relatively low engine capacity (1,248cc) for a 2012 Hyundai.
