2004 Hyundai Getz GSI 1.3L Petrol · MKZ 4144

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness remains stable, as the MOT record shows no recurring defects or structural failures across all tests. However, the maintenance trend is clearly worsening, evidenced by the two consecutive failures in the February and December 2026 tests. This pattern indicates that basic upkeep was skipped during the period between the March and December 2026 assessments, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The mileage accumulation is significant, with the most recent test at 109,274 miles occurring in March 2026. This figure is consistent with the vehicle's age of approximately 22 years, suggesting that the accumulated mileage has likely exceeded the safe limit for a 22-year-old car. While the test dates are recent, the gap between the March and December 2026 assessments highlights a lack of regular maintenance, which would typically result in the accumulation of brake dust, suspension bushings, and potential corrosion. Given the two failed tests at 108,837 and 102,719 miles respectively, the vehicle does not meet the safety standards required for its age and mileage. The buyer should inspect the brakes for binding or excessive play, the suspension for excessive bushings and corrosion, and check the exhaust system for emissions. A buyer must also verify the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as the history of failure at the lowest mileage suggests that these consumables were neglected.
