- ✓A good GD should drive like a well-sorted family hatch, so clonks, notchy steering or an awkward reverse camera all justify closer inspection
- ✓Manual petrols are the least troublesome used buy; diesel cars need proof they have not spent their life on short commutes
- ✓Check Bluetooth, radio and reversing-camera functions because replacement Hyundai media hardware is not especially cheap
- ✓Inspect MOT history for repeated advisories on front springs, rear bushes and brake imbalance rather than assuming a newer shape means fewer bills
