MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

32 MOT tests are recorded for this 1997 Hyundai Coupe (P262 DRS) between January 2006 and May 2026.

The record contains 21 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 14 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (58 issues), Suspension (39 issues), Bodywork (17 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (12 issues), Windscreen (7 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 128 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Offside Front Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”; “Offside Front Seat belt buckle not functioning as intended not releasing under pressure (7.1.2 (d))”; “Nearside Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”.
