2008 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · FX08 XKC

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical neglect in 2022. While the May 2023 test at 67,776 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, the preceding tests indicate a history of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The most recent recorded data is now over three years old, which suggests the vehicle has likely been off the road or the records are incomplete relative to the current date of July 2026. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, covering only 67,776 miles in total. Between June 2022 and May 2023, the car covered approximately 1,544 miles, confirming a pattern of very light usage. This low annual average of roughly 3,765 miles can be beneficial for drivetrain longevity, but it also increases the risk of component degradation due to inactivity, such as seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT history reveals specific recurring issues with braking and suspension components. In June 2022 at 66,232 miles, the tester flagged worn front brake pads, pitted brake discs, and an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bush. The subsequent failure in May 2023 at 67,706 miles identified a binding offside rear service brake and a damaged anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. These faults suggest that while the owner addressed individual failures, the vehicle has experienced intermittent issues with both braking efficiency and suspension integrity. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure no further binding occurs and check the condition of all suspension bushes and ball joints. Given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, particular attention must be paid to the condition of rubber components and the presence of corrosion on the underside. The lack of recent MOT data since May 2023 is a significant concern that requires immediate verification of the vehicle's current legal status and mechanical state.
