NV06 AJO MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Hyundai Getz (NV06 AJO) between November 2023 and November 2025.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 24 November 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Bodywork (2 issues), Tyres (1 issue), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 1 advisory notice is recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Anti-lock braking system warning lamp indicates an ABS fault (1.6 (b))”; “Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Offside outer sill area corroded (7.1.1”; “Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced Nearside outer sill area corroded (7.1.”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the Hyundai Getz is a simple car, this specific example shows a worrying history of structural corrosion and recurring electrical/braking faults.
If you are considering this vehicle, your first priority must be a thorough inspection of the underside. The MOT history shows a history of major structural issues, including a corroded sub-frame in 2019 and significant corrosion to the nearside and offside outer sills in 2024. You must ensure these repairs were carried out professionally and are not currently progressing.
Secondly, investigate the recurring ABS warning lamp faults seen in both 2022 and 2025. This could indicate a sensor issue or a more expensive electronic control unit fault. Always ask for a stamped service history to verify that the diesel engine has been maintained correctly, as timing belt intervals are critical on these 1.5L units. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the potential upcoming maintenance required for suspension components and braking systems, which have been frequent failure points for this car.
The 1.5L diesel engine is generally efficient for its era, offering decent fuel economy for commuting, though running costs will be influenced by its age. Being a 2006 model, it falls into a relatively low insurance group, making it affordable for newer drivers.
Maintenance costs for a Getz are typically low due to the simplicity of its design, but this specific car has a history of suspension and braking component failures (ball joints, struts, and brake discs). Expect annual maintenance to be slightly higher than average to keep the chassis and safety systems in order. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic upkeep, sit around £1,100-£1,400.
A physical inspection of the sills and sub-frame is non-negotiable; look for any signs of bubbling paint or fresh weld repairs, given the 2019 and 2024 MOT failures regarding corrosion. Check the seat belt anchorages specifically, as the 2024 MOT recorded major failures in this area due to sill corrosion.
Check the braking system thoroughly. The ABS warning light has appeared multiple times in the recent history, so ensure the light stays off during a test drive and check for any spongy pedal feel. Finally, inspect the front suspension; the history shows a pattern of worn ball joints, Macpherson struts, and anti-roll bar linkages, so listen for knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces.
This 2006 black diesel Hyundai Getz has covered 103,365 miles, which is relatively moderate for its age. However, its MOT history reveals significant concerns, most notably major corrosion issues affecting the sub-frame and seat belt anchorages. While it has passed recent tests, the pattern of failures suggests a vehicle that has required frequent, and sometimes serious, maintenance to remain roadworthy.
While the Hyundai Getz is generally regarded as a robust and simple small car, the aggregate data for this specific vehicle shows a tendency towards suspension wear and corrosion issues.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: HYUNDAI GETZ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Clutch release-bearing and cable wear(Moderate)
Urban Getz models often need a clutch earlier than expected, with noisy release bearings and heavy or inconsistent pedal action as the usual warning signs.
- Brake-pipe and subframe corrosion(Serious)
The shells hold up fairly well, but UK road salt attacks exposed brake pipes, subframe edges and mounting points. Neglected cars can move from advisories to MOT failures quickly.
