2013 Hyundai Veloster 1.6L Petrol · RO62 ERU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking system integrity. While the most recent test in April 2025 at 59,204 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just eight days prior that highlighted critical mechanical faults. The transition from a fractured offside front coil spring and worn ball joint in early 2025 to merely corroded rear springs shortly thereafter suggests that the owner is reacting only to immediate failures rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,204 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,554 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the car has sat for long periods, which often contributes to the accelerated corrosion seen in the record. Between April 2024 at 49,229 miles and April 2025 at 59,204 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles, a relatively high spike that triggered the multiple suspension failures despite the overall low annual average. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the corrosion. The 2024 failure noted excessive corrosion on all four brake pipes, indicating a high risk of future fluid leaks if these lines were merely cleaned rather than replaced. You should also verify that the suspension arms and ball joints identified in the 2025 failure were replaced with quality components and properly aligned. The recurring uneven wear on the nearside front tyre in 2025 also indicates a potential alignment issue that requires professional attention to prevent premature tyre degradation.
