2004 Hyundai Coupe 1.6L Petrol · HV54 AAZ

The 2004 Hyundai Coupe presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 22 July 2024 at 60,309 miles recording no defects. The test immediately prior, on 17 July 2024 at the same mileage, failed with no defects listed, a pattern suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the wider history from 2021 through 2024, every examination returned either a pass or a no-defect failure, indicating no recurring advisories or escalating wear flagged by testers. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally low use for a 22-year-old vehicle. In the 5 August 2021 test at 51,314 miles, the car then recorded 51,521 miles on 22 July 2022 and 51,624 miles on 9 August 2023, a cumulative gain of only 310 miles across two years. By July 2024 the odometer read 60,309 miles, implying roughly 8,685 miles added in the final year yet still under 2,750 annual average overall. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing, as MOT passes with no defects do not equate to a detailed mechanical survey. The long static mileage between 2021 and 2023 implies the Coupe may have sat unused, raising risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, or degraded exhaust emissions hardware not captured in a clean test sheet. Verify the 17 July 2024 failure reason with DVSA, since a no-defect fail is atypical and may mask a missing documentation or lighting check skipped on the pass eight days later. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and brake binding through a road test, as low-mileage classics often hide intermittent faults between annual examinations.
