2026 Changan Deepal S07 EV 1.7L Electric · RA08 YYY

This Hyundai Deepal S07 EV demonstrates a consistent roadworthiness record, with no defects or advisories recorded across its most recent five MOT tests. The November 2025 test—just six months ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without issue at 68,217 miles, reinforcing a stable maintenance pattern. The only anomaly in the history is the duplicate entry for November 2024, where the vehicle was tested twice on the same date and mileage (61,122) but passed both times without failings. This suggests either an administrative duplication or a rare oversight in the DVSA system, though neither indicates mechanical concern. The absence of recurring advisories or defects implies the previous owner adhered to basic servicing, though this record does not cover pre-MOT maintenance such as fluid changes or high-mileage inspections. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation without abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per year since the 2022 test. The vehicle’s age aligns closely with its mileage, with no evidence of excessive standing or low usage that might mask wear. The most recent MOT, conducted just six months prior, means the vehicle has not yet reached the 12-month interval for another test, leaving a brief window for minor wear to develop. However, the electric powertrain’s inherent simplicity—lacking traditional fluid servicing or high-mileage components—reduces the likelihood of hidden issues at this stage. Given the clean MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise the high-stress EV-specific components: the battery thermal management system, high-voltage wiring integrity, and regenerative braking calibration. While the MOT does not test battery health directly, any visible thermal degradation, swollen modules, or corrosion around connectors would warrant further scrutiny. The suspension—particularly the coil springs and alignment—should be checked for uneven wear, as EV weight distribution can accelerate bush deterioration. Finally, verify the regenerative braking system for binding or uneven pad wear, as this is a common EV-specific failing that often goes unnoticed in conventional tests. The absence of advisories on brakes or suspension in prior tests suggests these areas are likely sound, but visual confirmation is essential.
