2005 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · GV05 GDX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy certificate, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 89,548 miles, the previous records show a pattern of significant mechanical neglect followed by immediate repairs. The overall trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they cause an MOT failure, as evidenced by multiple failures recorded within short intervals during late 2024 and late 2025. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 89,548 miles is remarkably low, averaging approximately 4,264 miles per year. However, the data shows a recent surge in usage between October 2024 and November 2025, where the car covered nearly 12,000 miles in just thirteen months. This sudden increase, combined with the vehicle's age, likely explains the rapid degradation of rubber components and suspension hardware, such as the split drive shaft boots, steering rack gaiters, and worn bushes identified during the 2024 tests. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and drivetrain, as the record flagged recurring issues including a fractured coil spring, worn anti-roll bar pins, and multiple split constant velocity boots. The presence of a major exhaust leak and an inoperative engine management light in late 2024 indicates that engine-related emissions systems have previously been overlooked. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding inner-edge tyre wear on the offside front suggests a geometry issue or misalignment that requires professional attention to prevent premature tyre failure.
