HYUNDAI ACCENT1996 · 1.5L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1996 Hyundai Accent was conducted on 2009-07-08, over 17 years ago, with no defects recorded at 71,156 miles. Subsequent tests from 2008 to 2006 show a pattern of passing with minimal or no defects, though a 2008 test noted a windscreen damage within zone 'A' (less than 10mm). No other safety-critical issues were recorded in the history. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,156 miles over 30 years equates to roughly 2,372 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or prolonged periods of inactivity, but the absence of recent MOT data makes it difficult to confirm current condition. Low mileage may suggest less wear on components like brakes and suspension, but also raises concerns about potential deterioration from standing or infrequent use. The MOT history shows a stable pattern, with no recurring or worsening defects. The only recorded issue was a minor windscreen damage in 2008, which was not classified as a failure. However, the 17-year gap since the last MOT means there is no evidence of the vehicle’s condition in the intervening years. This lack of recent data is a significant risk, as it leaves uncertainty about maintenance, fluid levels, or hidden wear.
