2012 Hyundai Veloster 1.6L Petrol · LS61 TTK

The most recent MOT, completed on 2025-09-21, shows a pass with a single minor defect: a slightly worn steering column top bearing. This is a low-severity issue but suggests the beginning of wear in steering components. A recurring pattern of brake pad wear and brake disc issues has been evident in the past two MOTs. In 2024, front brake pads were wearing thin, and in 2023, both nearside and offside front pads were also thin. This indicates a consistent need for brake servicing and suggests that the braking system is now at a stage where regular monitoring or replacement is necessary. The 2024 MOT also noted slight play in the steering system, though the source was not identified. This, combined with the 2025 finding of a worn steering column bearing, points to potential steering wear that could worsen if not addressed. The 2023 MOT added concerns over multiple tyres showing cracking or perishing, and a TPMS light on the dash, indicating possible air pressure or sensor issues. The vehicle has covered 64,972 miles in 14 years, averaging about 4,641 miles per year. This is relatively low mileage, which may mean less mechanical wear overall but could also suggest periods of inactivity.
