2007 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · DY57 ABO

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 2 September 2025 shows a pass following a failure on the same day. The maintenance trend regarding brake components is worsening, as the advisory for corrosion on both nearside and offside front brake hose ferrules has persisted through every recorded test since September 2022. The 2025 failure was specifically triggered by a split offside front upper anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, though this was rectified to achieve the pass. The recorded mileage of 28,315 miles is exceptionally low for a 2007 vehicle, averaging approximately 1,490 miles per year. While this indicates minimal drivetrain wear, the MOT history suggests the vehicle may spend significant periods stationary. This is evidenced by the 2025 advisory for a nearside rear tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing, a common symptom of age-related degradation in low-use vehicles. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the condition of the front brake hoses to determine if the reported corrosion has progressed. The recurring advisories for these hoses over the last four years suggest they are approaching the end of their service life. The condition of all tyres should also be scrutinized for sidewall cracking or perishing, regardless of remaining tread depth, due to the age of the rubber. The 2025 advisory regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate indicates a need to check the clarity and security of all external lighting and identification markers. While the anti-roll bar issue was resolved, the presence of multiple advisories in the most recent test suggests that age-related deterioration of rubber components and corrosion is an ongoing factor for this vehicle. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
