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

This 2004 Hyundai has 26 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 15,994 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.

A critical mileage anomaly is present: 74,745 miles in Apr 2017, but only 57,604 miles in May 2018, indicating a possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Apr 2017 (74,745 mi) and May 2018 (57,604 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased significantly between Apr 2017 (74,745 mi) and May 2018 (57,604 mi), a strong odometer fraud indicator.
  • Recurring major failures in critical safety systems: CV boot (Apr 2026), subframe (Apr 2026), and seatbelt (Apr 2026).
  • Persistent advisories for tyres (Apr 2026), brakes (Apr 2025), and emissions (Apr 2026) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027, indicating current roadworthiness despite history.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed for 2004 vehicle).
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) suggests good inherent safety features.
