2005 Hyundai Coupe 2.0L Petrol · CU05 TXC

The 2005 Hyundai Coupe is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2023-10-24 at 100,765 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern over the past three years, with two passes and two failures in the preceding 18 months. The most recent test confirms the vehicle remains compliant, though the earlier failures suggest intermittent issues that were resolved before the final pass. The recorded mileage of 100,765 miles over 21 years equates to an average of approximately 4,798 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests the car has been driven infrequently or stored for extended periods, potentially reducing wear on mechanical components. However, the MOT history reveals only two tests in the last 18 months, with a gap between the 2021-10-20 failure and the 2022-10-21 pass. This limited testing frequency may obscure long-term wear patterns, particularly in suspension, steering, and brake systems. Despite the absence of defects in the most recent test, the earlier failures—particularly the 2021-10-20 and 2023-10-17 results—warrant close inspection of the rear suspension and braking systems. Binding rear brakes were flagged in the 2023-10-17 test, indicating potential caliper or pad issues that may recur. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, should be examined for fatigue or corrosion, especially given the age and low usage. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and chassis points, should also be checked for rust, which can develop even in low-mileage vehicles stored in damp conditions.
