2006 Hyundai Matrix 1.6L Petrol · GJ06 AAX

The Hyundai Matrix shows a stable and clean roadworthiness history, with the most recent MOT on 17 August 2022 at 85,641 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. That test is nearly four years old relative to today’s date of 16 July 2026, so the vehicle currently holds no valid MOT and has not been formally assessed for an extended period. The trend across all available entries is neither worsening nor improving because the tester logged zero advisories or faults at every stage. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a 2006 registration. The record opens at 55,580 miles on 22 November 2018, climbs to 66,764 by 27 November 2019, then reaches 70,124 on 13 January 2021 and 85,641 on 17 August 2022. Annual averages sit near 4,300 miles, well below typical fleet figures. The supplied current mileage matches the 2022 reading exactly, indicating the car has stood unused for roughly four years. Sparse testing gaps, including no captured entry for 2020, limit deep trend analysis but the data that exists is unblemished. On 22 November 2018 the DVSA record lists both a fail and a pass at 55,580 miles, each with no defects noted. This duplicate same-day outcome likely signals a procedural or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, yet a buyer should confirm the original failure reason via the government portal. No recurring suspension, brake, or corrosion issues appear across the timeline, so previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Despite the clean paper trail, prolonged storage and two decades of age demand a physical inspection of consumable and structural items the MOT did not flag. The tester should examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, brake discs and calipers for binding after standing, and the underbody for corrosion compromising structural integrity. Exhaust emissions and tyre condition also warrant verification before road use, as rubber and seals degrade with time irrespective of mileage.
