2022 Hyundai Bayon Ultimate T-GDI Mhev Auto 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LF22 OEX

The Hyundai Bayonet in question demonstrates a clean and consistent MOT history, with all three most recent tests—including the January 2026 pass at 26,232 miles—registering no defects. This absence of advisories or failures indicates the vehicle has passed all mandatory and advisory checks without incident, suggesting the previous owner adhered to basic maintenance and addressed any potential issues before they escalated. The most recent test, just six months ago, further confirms the car remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though an in-person inspection remains essential to verify conditions not captured by the MOT, such as fluid levels or subtle wear. The recorded mileage of 26,232 miles over four years equates to approximately 6,558 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this model. Notably, the mileage between the November 2024 and January 2025 tests remained static at 20,746 miles, a gap of nearly two months with no movement—this could imply the vehicle was either stored or used infrequently during that period. Beyond this minor anomaly, the mileage progression shows no rapid accumulation or prolonged neglect, which would otherwise raise concerns about accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes or brake pads. Given the lack of recorded faults, priority should be given to inspecting high-wear items not covered by the MOT, such as the condition of coil springs and suspension bushes for cracking or excessive play, as well as brake calipers for binding or excessive corrosion. Tyres, though not flagged, should be examined for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or suspension issues. The MOT’s silence on exhaust emissions does not preclude a leak or catalytic converter degradation, so a visual check for soot or a scan for fault codes is advisable. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel bearings, as MOT standards may not always detect early-stage structural compromise.
