Is the Hyundai Coupe ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 7,266 MOT tests, around 73% of Hyundai Coupes still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 3% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 24%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 100% petrol. Petrol Coupes are generally compliant from 2006, while petrol cars from 2000 or earlier are likely to be charged.

Buying a used Hyundai Coupe for London: what the MOT data shows
The Hyundai Coupes in this data were first registered between 1998 and 2009. 2007 was the most common year, with 1,718 tests (24% of the total), and half were registered in 2007 or later.
Coupes from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 52% of the time, at an average of 88,555 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 49% of the time with 72,881 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest petrol Coupes likely to comply are from 2006. 1,150 of them were tested; 2006 cars passed first time 53% of the time and averaged 89,395 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Coupe's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were brakes: "efficiency below requirements" (12.9% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (8.6%); body and structure: "has a major leak of exhaust gases" (5.9%). The most frequent advisory was "in such a condition that it is seriously weakened", on 16.0% of tests.
Overall, 52% of Coupes passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 88,068 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
