2007 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · AF57 XKH

The Hyundai Getz fails its most recent roadworthiness test dated 1 April 2026 at 81,999 miles, leaving it currently unroadworthy. Prior to this, the MOT record shows a stable and clean history with passes in July 2023 at 73,099 miles, July 2024 at 76,531 miles, and July 2025 at 80,011 miles, all with no defects recorded. The sudden failure with no listed defects suggests an administrative or unclassified rejection rather than a documented mechanical fault, but the vehicle cannot be legally driven until the failure is resolved and a fresh pass issued. The odometer reads 81,999 miles against a 2007 build, an average of roughly 4,300 miles per year. The mileage climbed steadily: 73,096 miles on the failed July 2023 test, 76,531 by July 2024, 80,011 by July 2025, then 81,999 by April 2026. This low annual use over nineteen years implies light running, though extended standing periods common with such mileage can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The record shows no advisories across any pass, so no wear trend on tyres, brakes, or suspension bushes was formally flagged. A buyer must still confirm the reason for the April 2026 failure before purchase, as DVSA data lists no defect detail. Given the car's age and low use, a physical inspection should target structural integrity for rust at sills and subframes, check suspension arms and coil springs for cracking or seizing, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation. The clean advisory history offers no warning of consumable wear, so assume nothing and verify tyre tread, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions on site.
