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 21 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 21,304 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's age and persistent mechanical issues make it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 4,738 miles/year, with a significant drop from 79,533 miles in Sep 2019 to 82,937 miles in Oct 2020, suggesting periods of inactivity or potential odometer issues.

Things to check

  • Oct 2020: Nearside Rear Parking brake inoperative on one side — a serious safety failure.
  • Oct 2020: Parking brake efficiency below requirements — indicates a deeper brake system issue.
  • Oct 2023: Offside Rear Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn — a recurring suspension failure.
  • Oct 2023: Nearside Rear Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn — another recurring suspension failure.

Working in its favour

  • Oct 2023: Recent clean MOT pass with no immediate failures or advisories.
  • Oct 2023: No mileage anomalies or suspicious readings on the latest test.
  • Oct 2023: All previous major and minor failures were addressed and passed.
  • Oct 2023: No recent dangerous defects or recurring failures on the latest test.
