2011 HYUNDAI I101.2L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-01 at 24,553 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failure with no recorded issues. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 similarly show alternating pass/fail outcomes without defects, suggesting inconsistent testing or potential administrative errors. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged across the history, indicating a stable mechanical condition. However, the lack of detailed defect records limits confidence in the accuracy of the maintenance narrative. The vehicle’s mileage of 24,553 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 1,637 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual mileage. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate wear on components like rubber seals, brake discs, and suspension bushes. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, but the absence of recorded defects for multiple years raises questions about the thoroughness of inspections. The 2023 test at 24,041 miles was the earliest in the history, with no issues noted, while the 2024 and 2025 tests at 24,305 and 24,553 miles also showed no defects. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly around the chassis and underbody, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant components. Check for brake disc warping, as low-mileage vehicles may develop uneven wear from infrequent use. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be examined for age-related degradation. Despite the MOT records showing no issues, the repeated pass/fail outcomes without explanations warrant caution, and a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised.
