2009 Hyundai Coupe 2.0L Petrol · FJ59 XKP

The 2009 Hyundai Coupe presents a stable mechanical baseline, culminating in a pass at 94,781 miles on 7 October 2025. The maintenance trend remains consistent, though the MOT record contains a notable anomaly. On both 30 December 2024 and 7 October 2025, the vehicle logged a failure and a pass at the identical recorded mileage of 90,028 and 94,781 miles respectively, yet neither test lists any defects. This suggests a potential data entry error on the DVSA system or an aborted initial test immediately followed by a clean pass, rather than a genuine mechanical fault and subsequent repair. Regardless, the most recent outcome confirms the car met the minimum roadworthiness standard at the current mileage. The mileage accumulation aligns with the vehicle's low annual usage of roughly 5,500 miles. Between the January 2024 test at 85,074 miles and the December 2024 test at 90,028 miles, the car covered 4,954 miles. The subsequent jump to 94,781 miles by October 2025 represents a further 4,753 miles over ten months. This steady, low-mileage progression indicates light, regular use rather than prolonged standing, which bodes well for the condition of consumables and the drivetrain. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a 17-year-old sports coupe. Low mileage does not preclude age-related deterioration. A buyer must inspect the condition of all rubber suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links, which can perish and crack from age rather than mileage. Tyre sidewall date codes require checking, as older rubber hardens and loses grip even with sufficient tread depth. Underneath, examine the exhaust system, brake discs, and fuel lines for corrosion, a common issue on aging Hyundai models. The structural integrity of the sills and subframes demands close scrutiny for any signs of rust or accident repair, ensuring the low-mileage usage has not masked hidden deterioration.
