2007 Hyundai Getz 1.4L Petrol · AX56 AYT

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 3 May 2025 at 138,280 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting a vehicle that is well-maintained or has had its faults addressed before the official inspection. The mileage is typical for a 19-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,278 miles per year. Usage has remained steady over the last few years, with an increase of 11,587 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, followed by a further 11,587 miles by May 2025. A brief failure on 17 April 2023 at 117,539 miles was resolved within four days, indicating the owner acted quickly to rectify the issue before the successful retest on 21 April 2023. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a buyer must remain vigilant regarding the age of the chassis. Vehicles of this era and model are prone to corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, which can sometimes be overlooked if the car is cleaned before a test. A physical inspection should focus on structural integrity and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components naturally degrade over 138,000 miles regardless of MOT outcomes. Check for any signs of oil leaks or worn drive belts during a cold start. While the record shows no mechanical failures, the lack of advisories over several years is unusual for a car of this age. This suggests either a very diligent maintenance regime or a tester who has been lenient with consumable wear. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters have been changed in line with the mileage increases.
