2008 Hyundai Coupe 2.0L Petrol · GJ58 ABU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its MOT test on 3 June 2025 at 127,323 miles with no defects recorded. That clean pass, coming just two months ago, shows the maintenance trend is stable rather than worsening. The car failed on 31 May 2025 at 127,318 miles, but the absence of any recorded defects on that failure, combined with the five-mile gap before the pass, indicates a minor rectification was completed and the car was re-presented immediately. The same pattern occurred in June 2024, with a fail at 116,697 miles and a pass the following day at 116,699 miles, which suggests routine attention rather than a systemic fault. Mileage sits at roughly 7,074 miles per year across eighteen years, which is typical for the age. The car covered about 10,624 miles between the June 2024 pass and the June 2025 test, and roughly 12,870 miles between the May 2023 pass and the June 2024 test. That is consistent annual use with no signs of long periods standing idle or rapid, punishing accumulation. The five-mile gap between the two May 2025 tests confirms the retest was prompt. With no advisories or structural faults listed anywhere in the history, the recorded maintenance appears solid. However, the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the condition of ageing components. A buyer should personally inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, check the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, and look for binding calipers on the rear axle. Tyre condition and tread depth deserve a close look, as do the exhaust system seams and mounting rubbers for early corrosion. These items are typical consumable wear points on an eighteen-year-old coupe and are not flagged by the MOT data, but a physical check will confirm the car is as clean as the paper record suggests.
