2007 HYUNDAI GETZ1.1L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 86,622 miles passed, it revealed a severely deteriorated offside front drive shaft boot and a corroded offside rear coil spring. These issues followed a failure in 2024 where the car was flagged for mismatched tyres and an exhaust leak, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach the point of MOT failure. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 86,622 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with only about 7,300 miles driven between the September 2023 and September 2025 tests. However, low mileage often masks the age-related degradation of rubber and metal components, which is evidenced by the deterioration of CV boots and anti-roll bar joint dust covers that perish over time despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and underbody integrity. The corroded offside rear coil spring noted in 2025 is a structural risk that requires immediate attention if the metal fractures. Additionally, the history of fluctuating rear service brakes since 2023 and the minor exhaust leak in 2024 indicate a need to check the brake discs for thinning and the exhaust manifold for rust. Given the failure for mismatched tyres in 2024, verify that all tyres on the same axle match in both specification and wear rating to ensure vehicle stability and safety.
