Application and Buying Notes

Starter motors need to match more than just the vehicle badge, so the most useful checks on this OEX MXS812 are the 12V rating, 8 tooth pinion, clockwise rotation and 2 hole mount type. The 98mm mount centres, 70mm flange diameter and M10x1.25 / 10 mount hole diameter are practical measurements to compare against the old unit.

The Mitsubishi style description and the supplied fitment references point you in the right direction, but the safest confirmation is still the part number and the dimensions on the vehicle’s original starter. A unit that is close in appearance can still differ in tooth count, pinion position or mounting layout.

If you are replacing a starter on a Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tiburon, Hyundai Trajet, Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage application listed here, match the year and model information as closely as possible to your existing part. The product is new and weighs 2.74kg, which may also help when comparing against the removed unit.

For commercial use, the warranty is listed as 1 year, while passenger use is listed as 3 years. Keep the invoice and confirm the vehicle application before fitting, because starter motor compatibility depends on the exact combination of voltage, rotation, mounting pattern and drive gear specification.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number MXS812 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.
