2017 Hyundai Elantra 2.0L Petrol · AU66 FDJ

The MOT history for this 2017 Hyundai Elantra shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 9 October 2023, the record shows that it failed two previous tests on 14 October 2022 and 9 October 2023. These failures occurred immediately prior to the successful retests on the same day. The absence of recorded defect details for these failures prevents a specific technical diagnosis of the issues that caused the initial non-compliance. The vehicle has covered 61,651 miles over its nine-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,850 miles per year. This usage level is consistent with typical low-to-mid-range annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT data is relatively sparse, with tests recorded annually from November 2021 through October 2023. Given that the last recorded test was in October 2023, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual MOT inspection as of August 2026. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify any issues that may have arisen since the last recorded test. Because the previous failures did not specify the exact components at fault, manual checks of the braking system, including brake discs and pads, are necessary. The suspension system, specifically the coil springs and bushes, should be examined for wear or damage. Additionally, an inspection of the underside for structural corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system is advised to ensure no new defects have developed during the period of lapsed testing.
