2008 Hyundai Getz 1.4L Petrol · CV08 YEU

The Hyundai Getz presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 24 October 2025 at 115,540 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though it followed a failed attempt one week earlier on 17 October 2025 at 115,504 miles where the DVSA system recorded no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed every annual test from 2022 through 2024 with no advisories logged. Annual mileage has averaged around 6,400 miles against the car's 18-year life, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 95,660 miles in October 2022, rising to 99,941 by October 2023, then 103,327 in October 2024 and 115,504 by the October 2025 failure. The jump of roughly 12,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests is the largest single-year increase and double the long-term average, indicating heavier use in the final year before sale. No long dormant periods or missing test years appear in the data. The absence of any recorded advisories across five consecutive tests is unusual for a 2008 vehicle and warrants caution. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for corrosion the tester may have overlooked or omitted. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation should be checked, as binding or worn components often escape clean MOT entries on lighter cars. Given the unexplained fail on 17 October 2025 with zero defects cited, confirm with the seller which garage conducted the test and request the refusal notice. Verify the structural integrity underneath, particularly sill and floor pan condition, before purchase.
