2022 Hyundai Bayon SE Connect T-GDI Mhev A 1.0L Hybrid electric · CA22 XOT

A recurring pattern of component-specific advisories and a recent failure regarding washer fluid functionality defines the mechanical profile of this vehicle, culminating in a pass on 07 May 2026. While the most recent test did not result in a failure, the presence of a coolant leak advisory alongside previous issues with brake fluctuations and wheel distortion suggests a history of intermittent component wear. The trend shows a transition from a failure in April 2025 to a series of advisories in 2026, indicating that while the vehicle is meeting minimum legal standards, there are active areas of concern regarding the cooling system and tyre integrity that require monitoring. The recorded mileage of 44,503 miles over approximately four years equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 11,126 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical UK driving cycles and suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme long-distance motorway use or, conversely, excessive periods of stationary idling. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and tyres are likely entering a mid-life stage where wear becomes more evident in MOT testing, as evidenced by the recorded advisories regarding brake fluctuation and tyre condition. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the cooling system due to the advisory for a coolant leak recorded in May 2026. During a test drive, it is essential to monitor the temperature gauge closely for any signs of overheating and to check the engine bay for any visible traces of dried coolant residue or sweet-smelling vapours. Additionally, the advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing, combined with a nail being present, necessitates a thorough inspection of all four tyres. Look for uneven tread wear or sidewall cracking which could indicate the need for immediate replacement to maintain structural integrity. The history of near-side front brake fluctuation and a slightly distorted inner bead on a road wheel warrants specific attention to the braking and steering feel. On the test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal, particularly when applying the brakes at moderate speeds, which could relate to the previously noted brake fluctuation or wheel distortion. Any pulling to one side or a shuddering sensation during deceleration should be treated as a reason for a more intensive mechanical inspection of the brake calipers, discs, and wheel assembly.
