This 2013 Hyundai has 12 MOT tests on record with a 58% pass rate and 72,733 miles. The recurring issues and high mileage demand extreme caution.
The mileage trajectory shows a significant drop to 15 miles/year between Jul 2020 and Mar 2024, followed by a sharp increase to 18,776 miles/year from Mar 2024 to Mar 2025.
Things to check
- MOT HISTORY: 4 failures and 4 passes across 8 tests (Apr 2019, Jul 2020, Mar 2024, Mar 2025, Mar 2026) — inconsistent record.
- MILEAGE GAPS: No MOT recorded for 3 years (Jul 2020 – Mar 2024) — mileage unverified during this period.
- MILEAGE ANOMALY: Suspiciously low mileage (15 miles/year equivalent) before Mar 2024, then high usage (18,776 miles/year) from Mar 2024 onwards — strong odometer fraud indicators.
- RECURRING ISSUES: Ball joint excessive play (Apr 2018, Apr 2018) and headlamp failure (Apr 2018, Apr 2018) — same system failing repeatedly.
Working in its favour
- MOT VALID: Current MOT valid until 2027-03-24, indicating it is roadworthy for the next 3 years.
- NO RECENT FAILURES: The most recent MOT (Mar 2026) passed after addressing the previous failure, showing some recent care.
- Euro NCAP: 5/5 stars (2017) — excellent safety rating for a 2013 vehicle.
- Insurance Group: 23 out of 50 — relatively low insurance group for a diesel vehicle.
