Going to view a car – Need Advice! ๐Ÿ™‚

Automobiles


Going to view this Hyundai Sonata, itโ€™s a 2.0l CRDI making 148hp.

MOT history generally looks okay, slide 3 shows its most recent mot, just some cracked tyres not worried about that at all.

However slide 4 shows the failed MOT prior to that in December 2025 when it failed on a few things, most wear and tear but the one that stood out to me was the MIL Engine light.. what could this indicate?

I intend on asking on the day, whatโ€™s the type of response I should look out for?

Then on slide 5 it shows a number of good MOTโ€™s a 3 without any advisories.

But then again on slide 6 that same Engine MIL pops back up in 2021.. could this be something as simple as a clogged DPF?

It hasnโ€™t a V5 change in 6 years which is a good sign.

Any help would be appreciated!

Also should I pay the ยฃ12.95 for a full history check? Or is that a waste of money ๐Ÿ˜‚
