2012 Hyundai Veloster 1.6L Petrol · EO62 AEF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-13 at 117,791 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Prior tests in 2025 and 2024 showed similar outcomes, with two consecutive passes in 2025 and 2024, though a failed test in 2025-03-11 and 2024-03-14 occurred without recorded defects. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the latest tests suggests the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the pattern of near-simultaneous pass/fail results in 2024 and 2025 raises questions about potential minor faults that may have been rectified between assessments. The mileage of 117,791 miles over 14 years aligns with an average annual usage of 8,414 miles, consistent with typical wear for the vehicle’s age. MOT tests were conducted annually, with minimal gaps between assessments, reflecting regular maintenance. However, the 2024-03-14 and 2024-03-19 tests occurred just five days apart, with a mere 6-mile difference in mileage, suggesting possible rushed retesting or unresolved issues. The lack of defects in subsequent tests implies any prior faults were addressed, but the proximity of failures and passes warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s service history. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as these are common issues in older vehicles. The exhaust system and structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body panels, require attention to identify hidden rust or damage. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the repeated near-failures highlight the importance of a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
