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

This 2003 Hyundai has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 17,621 miles. The provided MOT history is incomplete and contradictory, making a reliable assessment impossible.

The mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage, averaging only 3,816 miles per year, with a significant drop to 167 miles between Feb 2020 and Feb 2021.

Things to check

  • MOT status is 'Not valid' with expiry 2022-02-04 for a 23-year-old vehicle.
  • Mileage anomaly: 167 miles recorded between Feb 2020 and Feb 2021, indicating a significant gap in usage.
  • No continuous MOT history: Gaps in MOT records (e.g., 2006–2007, 2008–2009) suggest periods without roadworthiness checks.
  • Mileage trajectory: Consistently low annual usage (3,816 mi/yr) for a 23-year-old vehicle.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a strong safety record for its era.
  • Relatively low engine capacity: 1086cc petrol engine for a 2003 model.
  • No recurring major failures: While advisories are present, no single system has failed repeatedly.
