2003 HYUNDAI GETZ1.3L PETROL

This 2003 Hyundai Getz has covered only 60,800 miles in roughly 23 years, which works out to approximately 2,643 miles annually. This is significantly below-average usage and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time off the road or in light use. While low mileage can mean less wear on some components, it can also indicate prolonged periods of storage, which may have allowed fluids to degrade, seals to harden, and moisture to accumulate in the fuel system and engine bay. The most recent MOT in June 2025 resulted in a pass, but only after a failed attempt just six days earlier in which the vehicle showed multiple serious defects. Both front headlamps were severely dim, both rear shock absorbers were actively leaking fluid, and the offside front CV boot was already cracking. These are not minor wear items; they represent structural and safety failures that required remedial work within a week to bring the car to test-ready condition. The recurring pattern across the entire MOT history is unmistakable: headlamp deterioration and shock absorber oil leakage. The front headlamps first showed lens degradation in February 2024, then failed outright in February 2023 with severely reduced light intensity. That same inspection found light misting on the offside rear shock absorber, a sign of early seal wear. By June 2025, both rear shocks had progressed to active fluid leaks—a serious defect.
