2007 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · EN07 OCL

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 shows a failed test with multiple issues, including a front windscreen wiper that does not clear the windscreen effectively, front brake discs worn but not seriously weakened, and offside rear inner tyre damage. A separate passed MOT on the same date lists similar defects but omits the wiper failure, suggesting potential inconsistency in the assessment or unresolved issues requiring immediate attention. Recurring mechanical patterns include windscreen damage (not affecting visibility), registration plate lamp faults , brake disc wear , tyre cracking , and shock absorber oil misting . These issues have appeared across multiple MOTs since 2023, indicating persistent, low-severity concerns rather than sudden deterioration. However, the 2026 failed MOT introduces a new defect (windscreen wiper failure), signaling a potential escalation in component wear or maintenance neglect. The vehicle’s condition trend appears stable overall , with no major safety-critical failures reported in recent years. However, the 2026 failure highlights emerging risks, particularly with the braking system and visibility aids. The mileage of 159,005 miles (roughly 8,369 miles per year) aligns with typical usage for a 19-year-old vehicle, suggesting moderate wear rather than excessive strain. Lower mileage might imply periods of inactivity, but no evidence of this is present in the MOT history. Key risks for a buyer include brake disc wear , tyre integrity , and shock absorber condition , as these components are critical to safety and longevity.
