2003 Hyundai Getz 1.6L Petrol · HN52 HPL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The final MOT conducted on 1 March 2022 at 122,904 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car was in a mechanically sound state at that time. This represents an improvement over previous years in 2020 and 2021, where the vehicle failed initial tests before subsequently passing, suggesting that the owner addressed identified faults effectively to maintain legal road use. At 23 years old, the recorded mileage of 122,904 is notably low, averaging approximately 5,344 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent low-mileage pattern, with only 7,479 miles covered between February 2021 and March 2022. However, there is a significant gap of over four years between the last recorded test in 2022 and the current date of July 2026. This lack of recent certification means the current state of aging components, such as rubber seals and fluid integrity, remains unverified regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from corrosion rather than mechanical wear, particularly in the sills, rear wheel arches, and brake lines. Given the previous failures in 2020 and 2021, the inspector should specifically check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are common when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods or is driven infrequently.
