Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 48,252 miles resulted in a pass, it occurred just four days after a failure at the same mileage. That failure specifically identified thin rear brake pads and excessive corrosion on both rear brake hose ferrules. This indicates that the owner only addressed mechanical faults when necessitated by a test failure, rather than performing routine inspections of safety-critical components. At 48,252 miles, this 2013 Hyundai has covered significantly less mileage for its age, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear and tear on the engine and drivetrain, but it frequently leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and moisture-relatedrelated seizing. The data shows consistent annual intervals of roughly 2,300 to 2,400 miles between 2023 and 2025, suggesting the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system and suspension to ensure corrosion is halted. The 2023 test at 44,181 miles flagged corroded rear brake pipes, deteriorated shock absorber casings, and a severely deteriorated front ball joint dust cover. Given the recurring issues with brake hose and pipe corrosion in 2025, the vehicle appears prone to environmental-related decay and rust despite the low mileage. The tyres should also be checked for sidewall cracking, as the 2023 record specifically noted perishing rubber, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that are infrequently driven.
