AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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

This 2013 Hyundai has 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 8,497 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, creates a critical contradiction that makes this vehicle unassessable.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage averaging 5,058 miles per year, with only 8,497 miles recorded in 13 years, which is highly suspicious for a 2013 car.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Feb 2025): Nearside Rear Tyre has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its st
  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded on 2019-02-14 and 2023-02-14, indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring suspension failures and advisories across multiple tests (e.g., 2025-02-15, 2026-02-15).
  • Brake system advisories and failures consistently noted (e.g., 2025-02-15, 2026-02-15).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-03-01, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT data.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests a generally safe vehicle design.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases, albeit very low, show no suspicious drops or spikes.
