2005 Hyundai Getz 1.4L Petrol · WR55 AAE

The 2005 Hyundai Getz has a recent MOT pass from December 2025, with several advisories noted, indicating a maintenance trend that is not entirely stable. In the December 2025 test at 152,739 miles, the tester flagged a number of issues, including a damaged nearside front tyre sidewall, rusty nearside and offside rear outer wheel arches, and a corroded rear coil spring on both sides, which suggests that the vehicle may be experiencing some wear and tear, particularly in terms of its suspension and structural components. The presence of an oil leak, albeit not excessive, and worn front anti-roll bar pins or bushes also implies that the vehicle may require some attention to its mechanical components. The mileage pattern of the vehicle appears to be relatively typical for its age, with an average annual mileage of around 7,273 miles. The recorded mileage has been steadily increasing over the years, with no notable gaps or periods of rapid accumulation. The most recent test was conducted in December 2025, which is relatively recent, and the mileage has increased by around 5,000 miles since the previous test in December 2024. This suggests that the vehicle has been in regular use, but the data does not indicate any unusual patterns of mileage accumulation. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of its suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and front anti-roll bar, as well as the state of the wheel arches and structural components. The history of tyre damage and wear, including the damaged nearside front tyre sidewall and the worn offside rear tyre, also warrants a closer look. Additionally, the presence of an oil leak and the corroded rear coil spring suggests that the vehicle's mechanical components may require some attention. It is also worth noting that the vehicle has a history of corrosion in its structural components, including the front sub-frame, which was flagged as seriously weakened in the December 2022 test. The buyer should pay particular attention to the vehicle's suspension and structural components, as these have been flagged as areas of concern in the MOT history. The presence of corrosion in the wheel arches and coil springs, as well as the damaged tyres, suggests that the vehicle may require some repairs or replacement of parts to ensure its continued roadworthiness. A thorough inspection of the vehicle's mechanical components, including the brakes, suspension, and steering, is essential to determine the extent of any necessary repairs and to ensure that the vehicle is safe to drive.
