2007 Hyundai Coupe 2.0L Petrol · V5 CHR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 108,801 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable following a significant failure in late 2023. While the 2025 test resulted in an advisory for an offside front tyre being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven wear, the lack of recorded defects in the previous two tests suggests that primary mechanical systems have remained within acceptable operating parameters recently. At 19 years old, the recorded 108,801 miles represent a low annual average of approximately 5,700 miles, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows consistent usage over recent years, with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles driven between tests from 2022 to 2025. This low mileage suggests less strain on the drivetrain, but it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brake seizing if the vehicle has sat for extended periods between journeys. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system due to the October 2023 failure at 100,572 miles, where both front service brakes were excessively binding and the parking brake failed the efficiency test. Although these issues were rectified, the buyer should check for caliper corrosion or seized pistons to ensure the problem not returned. The 2025 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the offside front indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require investigation to prevent premature tyre replacement costs. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is also essential, as rust is a common occurrence on low-mileage cars of this era.
