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

This 2001 Hyundai has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 23,789 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT make it unroadworthy and illegal to drive.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 4,106 miles per year, averaging only 23,789 miles over 25 years, which is a significant red flag for a 2001 car.

Things to check

  • Dangerous brake disc failure on 2007-06-28 (31,391 mi) — safety-critical.
  • Recurring tyre failures across 5 tests (2005, 2007, 2010, 2015, 2017) — structural neglect.
  • Recurring headlamp aim failures on 2007-06-28 and 2017-08-23 — electrical issues.
  • Recurring suspension arm failures on 2010-05-20 and 2017-08-23 — structural integrity.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 7 historical failures
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) — high safety standards.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate repairs after failures, showing owner responsiveness.
