2024 Hyundai Bayon Premium T-GDI Auto Petrol · FP74 LRU

As a 2024 registration, this Hyundai Bayon is a very recent vehicle and, at the time of writing, no DVSA MOT test history is available because cars in the United Kingdom are not required to undertake their first MOT until they reach three years of age. With today being September 2026, the vehicle is approaching its first compulsory test, meaning we have no official pass, fail, or advisory data on which to judge an established maintenance trend. The absence of an MOT record should therefore not be interpreted as either positive or negative; rather, it reflects the statutory testing window rather than the mechanical condition of the car itself. Any prospective buyer must rely on the dealer or private seller documentation, warranty records, and an independent pre-purchase inspection to verify roadworthiness at this stage. Mileage data has not been supplied for this vehicle, and there are no MOT records from which to extrapolate an annual usage pattern. Given that the car is a 2024 model, typical annual mileage for a Hyundai Bayon used as a daily family or commuter vehicle would fall broadly within the six to ten thousand mile range, giving an expected total mileage of somewhere between twelve and twenty thousand miles if used normally. Without recorded mileages from previous MOT tests or service invoices, it is impossible to confirm whether the vehicle has covered very low miles with potential standing-start issues, or whether it has been used more intensively with higher wear on consumables. A thorough review of the service history and the current odometer reading against the build date will be essential to establish a usage baseline. Because no MOT defects or advisories have been recorded, the buyer cannot rely on the DVSA history to highlight known weak points or emerging wear items. However, even on a nearly-new car of this age, several age- and usage-related checks remain highly relevant. Tyres should be inspected closely for sidewall perishing or cracking caused by UV exposure, particularly if the car has been stored outside, and the tread depth measured against the legal minimum of 1.6 millimetres. Brake discs, especially on a car fitted with an automatic transmission, can suffer from corrosion or surface pitting if the vehicle has been standing for prolonged periods, and the calipers should be checked for any binding or reluctance to release. The 12 volt battery health should be tested, as modern Hyundai powertrains with start-stop systems are sensitive to state of charge, and a battery that has been allowed to discharge repeatedly may fail prematurely. On the test drive, listen for any suspension knocks over uneven surfaces, feel for vibration or shudder through the brake pedal, and confirm that the seven-speed dual clutch automatic changes smoothly without hesitation or jerkiness. Given the lack of MOT history and unknown mileage, the most prudent course of action is to commission an independent pre-purchase inspection from a qualified technician, ideally one familiar with Hyundai models. This should include a diagnostic scan to confirm that no fault codes are present in the engine, transmission, or driver assist systems, a check of all fluid levels and their service dates, and confirmation that the timing chain or belt interval, where applicable, is well within schedule. Hyundai provides a five year unlimited mileage warranty from new, so it is worth verifying whether any remaining manufacturer cover is transferable to a subsequent owner, along with the full dealership service record. Establishing these baseline items will compensate for the absence of any MOT trend data and provide reassurance that this premium T-GDi automatic Bayon remains mechanically sound and fit for purpose.
