2003 Hyundai Getz 1.6L Petrol · LJ53 AOM

The vehicle presents a stable and unusually clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT on 28 October 2023 at 93,220 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2019, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common failure points. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 23 year old car, averaging roughly 4,053 miles per year. Between the August 2020 test at 85,732 miles and the October 2023 test at 93,220 miles, the car covered only 7,488 miles over three years. This suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used exclusively for short, local trips. While the lack of MOT defects is positive, the low usage pattern introduces specific risks. A buyer should manually inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as components often seize when left idle. The tyres and wiper blades should be checked for age-related perishing or cracking, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Given the age of this Hyundai Getz, a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion is essential. The MOT record does not flag rust, but examiners often overlook early-stage corrosion on older chassis if it does not yet compromise structural integrity. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs will confirm if the rubber components have degraded due to age rather than wear.
