This 2004 Hyundai has 12 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 58,723 miles.
The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low 509 miles/year equivalent before Aug 2017, with a 16-year gap in readings from 2008 to 2014.
Things to check
- AVOID: 12 major brake failures across 12 tests (Feb 2009, Oct 2011, Oct 2012, May 2016, May 2017) indicates systemic neglect.
- AVOID: Mileage anomaly — 16-year gap (2008–2014) and suspiciously low 509 miles/year equivalent before Aug 2017.
- AVOID: Recurring suspension arm issues (Feb 2009 advisory, May 2017 failure) and anti-roll bar link failures (Oct 2011 advisory, Aug 2017 failure).
- AVOID: Not ULEZ-compliant, high insurance group (23/50), and 22-year-old vehicle with no valid MOT since 2017.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP safety rating: 5/5 stars (2017) — indicates a safe vehicle for its era.
- Consistent annual mileage: 10,360 miles/year (UK average 8,000) — no sudden spikes or drops.
- No recent MOT failures: Last failure was May 2017, suggesting some recent repairs.
- No odometer fraud detected: Mileage readings are consistent, no decreases or implausible jumps.
