View Accent (LC) DirectoryBuying Tips for the Hyundai Accent (LC)
- ✓Prioritise body condition and MOT history because cheap LC cars still rust around the arches, sills and brake-pipe runs
- ✓Do a full hot restart and low-speed drive because crank-sensor, coil and idle faults usually show up once the engine is warm
- ✓Listen for rear wheel-bearing noise and watch for a loose rear end over bumps, especially on higher-mileage hatchbacks
- ✓Cambelt history matters more than a shiny valeting job on the 1.5 and 1.6 petrols
