2004 Hyundai Matrix 1.6L Petrol · BV04 ACX

The 2004 Hyundai Matrix presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 97,154 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from November 2021 to November 2025, the vehicle passed every test without advisories or failures. This uninterrupted pass record indicates consistent compliance with statutory test standards and no worsening mechanical or structural trend over the four-year window. The odometer shows 97,154 miles against 22 years of age, an average of roughly 4,416 miles per year. Annual increments stayed low and steady: 1,233 miles between the November 2021 and 2022 tests, then 2,712, 4,871, and 2,318 miles in subsequent years. No gaps appear in the annual test sequence, and the sparse but clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected periods off the road. Low mileage of this order often points to light domestic use, though extended standing can still permit unseen corrosion or perished rubber components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the chassis and wheel arches, as the MOT history records no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity. The tester logged no corrosion or exhaust emissions concerns at any point. Given the vehicle's age, dormant moisture traps around sills and subframes warrant close checking despite the clean paper trail. Verify in person that tyres, wiper blades, and brake calipers remain free of age-related degradation not captured by the pass results. The absence of recorded faults suggests prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but 22-year-old polymers and brake hoses demand hands-on assessment before purchase.
