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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 28,207 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's history of neglect and poor maintenance requires thorough investigation.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Aug 2021 (11 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant drop in annual usage, averaging only 4,567 miles per year since registration.
Things to check
- Recurring major suspension failures (Sep 2019, Aug 2022, Aug 2023) and 6 related advisories indicate chronic neglect.
- Persistent brake system failures (Sep 2019, Aug 2022, Aug 2023) and 7 related advisories point to a history of poor maintenance.
- Tyre advisories (Jun 2021, Aug 2023) and a recent Aug 2025 steering rack advisory suggest ongoing wear and tear.
- Mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low usage (11 mi/yr) before Aug 2021, and very low annual mileage thereafter.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-23 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, despite low annual usage.
- Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures demonstrate owner's attempts to address issues.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a generally safe vehicle design.
