AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2002 Hyundai has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 42,086 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and multiple recurring issues makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage averaging 10,362 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage over its 24-year lifespan.

Things to check

  • Six major failures across 18 MOT tests (Aug 2009, Aug 2010, Aug 2011, Dec 2012, Dec 2016) indicate persistent neglect.
  • Recurring advisories on brake hoses (6 tests), exhaust (5 tests), and headlamps (4 tests) point to systemic wear.
  • The 2002 Hyundai is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.
  • Consistent low annual mileage (10,362 mi/yr) for a 24-year-old vehicle suggests minimal use, potentially leading to age-related issues.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,362 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017), indicating good structural integrity.
