1995 HYUNDAI ACCENT1.5L PETROL

Most recent MOT outcome The latest MOT on 31 January 2017 (45 488 mi) was a clean pass with no defects recorded. That is the most recent evidence we have, and it shows the car met the test standards at that point. Recurring mechanical pattern The 2014 MOTs reveal a cluster of issues that were flagged together: Shock absorber pivots on both rear wheels were described as “excessively worn” or “slightly worn”. Both near‑side and off‑side headlamps failed the dipped‑beam test. The power‑steering system showed a slight fluid seepage. Tyres were close to the legal wear limit, with the rear‑right tyre down to 3 mm tread. Minor rust was noted on the north‑south outer sill. These items suggest the vehicle was experiencing wear on its rear suspension, electrical lighting, and steering system at that time. Trend analysis After the 2014 failures, the 2015 and 2017 MOTs recorded no defects. The absence of repeat entries for the shocks, lights or steering leak implies that the faults were likely remedied before the next test.
