Our Verdict
This 1985 Hyundai Stellar is a rare and fascinating classic survivor with an impressive, well-maintained odometer reading of over 212,000 miles. While its recent MOT history shows strong resilience with clean passes following initial tests, its age and high mileage mean it requires a dedicated enthusiast ready for classic car upkeep.
When inspecting this 1985 Stellar, verify the physical service history to understand how those 212,394 miles were accumulated and how well the 1.597cc petrol engine has been maintained. Check for any replacement parts receipts, as sourcing mechanical components for a classic rear-wheel-drive Hyundai can occasionally require patience. Negotiate based on the vehicle's overall cosmetic condition and the availability of any spares that may come with the sale.
