2005 Hyundai Coupe 2.0L Petrol · KB05 HTD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the history shows a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The most recent test on July 1, 2025 at 88,894 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for lighting, brake disc condition, and tyre wear. While the immediate safety defects were addressed for the pass, the presence of pitted front brake discs and a consistently worn offside front tyre suggests that the owner only replaces components when they reach the point of an MOT failure. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 88,894 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,233 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage in recent years, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 3,184 miles covered in the following year. This low annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and corrosion on exposed metal surfaces if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer must scrutin closely at the braking system, as the record indicates an imbalanced rear axle in August 2023 and scored front discs in July 2025. These recurring issues necessitate a check for seized calipers or perished brake hoses which could cause the uneven wear and parking brake failures. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the wheel arches and sills, is essential as these are common points of hidden rot on low-mileage cars of this era that MOT records alone do not capture.
