2007 Hyundai Coupe 1.6L Petrol · NH07 AFA

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status following a successful MOT on 17 December 2025. The inspection history shows a consistent pattern of minor failures immediately preceding successful tests, specifically on 18 December 2024 and 17 December 2025. This suggests that the vehicle undergoes corrective maintenance or minor adjustments to meet minimum standards just before the formal testing date. While the most recent result shows no defects, the recurring nature of these failures indicates a tendency for minor non-compliance issues to arise during annual inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,563 miles per year to reach 105,693 miles by the December 2025 test. The data shows steady, incremental usage rather than long periods of dormancy, with the mileage increasing by roughly 2,900 to 3,000 miles between annual inspections. This consistent, low-intensity usage pattern is generally positive for mechanical components, though it can sometimes lead to seal degradation or battery issues if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Because the MOT records do not specify the exact nature of the failures on 18 December 2024 and 17 December 2025, a physical inspection is required to identify the underlying cause. You should specifically scrutinise the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, and check for signs of corrosion on the underbody and exhaust. Given the age and low mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for uneven wear and check all rubber components for cracking or perishing due to age rather than mileage.
