2006 Hyundai Getz 1.4L Petrol · GP55 KXK

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate following the test on 13 October 2025 at 124,811 miles, although the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs. The tester initially failed the car on the same day due to an excessively worn offside front anti-roll bar ball joint and lighting defects. While the vehicle passed the retest, the record retains advisories for a non-excessive oil leak, nearside body sill damage, and slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. This pattern suggests the owner rectifies immediate failures but allows underlying mechanical wear to persist. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with typical usage for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The odometer progressed from 110,521 miles in December 2023 to 118,885 miles by October 2024, an increase of roughly 8,300 miles. The most recent entry in October 2025 shows a further 5,900 miles covered, bringing the total to 124,811. This steady usage implies the vehicle is not suffering from the effects of long-term inactivity, yet it demands regular upkeep of consumables. A physical inspection should prioritise the suspension geometry and tyre condition. The October 2025 test highlighted significant wear to the front anti-roll bar ball joints, with one side excessively worn and the other showing slight play. Tyre maintenance has been a recurring issue, with the 2024 failure citing exposed cords on two tyres and the 2025 test recording a run-flat tyre and a cut. The noted nearside body sill damage and the engine oil leak also require careful examination to ensure structural integrity and engine health are not compromised.
