2004 Hyundai Getz 1.3L Petrol · DX04 DHD

The vehicle displays a stable and clean maintenance history, with the most recent MOT certificate issued on 18 July 2023 at 67,118 miles showing no recorded defects or advisories. This perfect pass rate across the last three inspections suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, with no recurring mechanical failures or persistent safety issues flagged by testers. The absence of any recorded faults indicates that the previous owner addressed basic upkeep requirements promptly, ensuring the car met legal standards without significant intervention. At 67,118 miles over a 22-year lifespan, the vehicle averages approximately 3,051 miles per annum, confirming a pattern of light, intermittent usage. The mileage progression remains consistent and logical, with 1,268 miles covered between August 2021 and July 2022, followed by a further 2,743 miles leading up to the July 2023 test. This low-mileage profile often points to a vehicle that has spent considerable time in storage or used exclusively for short, local journeys, which can sometimes lead to issues related to infrequent operation rather than high-mileage wear. Potential buyers should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle’s structural integrity and rubber components, as long periods of inactivity can cause premature degradation. Specifically, check the suspension bushes, gaiters, and engine mounts for signs of perishing or cracking, as these components frequently deteriorate on older, low-mileage cars. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion resulting from prolonged standing, which may manifest as binding or reduced efficiency. Given the current MOT has expired as of July 2024, a fresh inspection is necessary to confirm that the vehicle remains roadworthy after its extended period off the road.
