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 17 MOT tests on record with a 53% pass rate and 42,358 miles. The most critical concern is the complete absence of MOT validity since 2024-03-22, making it unroadworthy.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2023, but a critical anomaly exists: only 98 miles were recorded between Nov 2022 and Mar 2023, indicating a severe period of inactivity or potential fraud.

Things to check

  • MOT EXPIRED: Vehicle's MOT expired on 2024-03-22; no valid MOT has been issued since.
  • DANGEROUS DEFECTS: Multiple DANGEROUS defects recorded on 2019-05-05 (tyres, brakes, suspension).
  • MILEAGE ANOMALY: Only 98 miles recorded between Nov 2022 and Mar 2023 (Mar 2023: 124,554 mi).
  • FIVE FAILURES: 5 test failures across

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 8 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
  • Normal Mileage: Average annual mileage of 11,091 miles/year before 2023, suggesting regular use.
  • Consistent Service Intervals: Every 10,000 miles or 12 months, aligning with Hyundai's service plan.
