2006 Hyundai Getz 1.4L Petrol · HV06 BZA

The 2026‑05‑20 MOT confirms the 2006 Hyundai Getz is roadworthy, passing despite recorded underbody corrosion, worn front suspension arm pins or bushes, and a front brake disc that is pitted but not seriously weakened. The recurring suspension wear noted in 2025 and 2026 shows a stable pattern rather than a clear worsening, and no new major defects have emerged since the previous test. At 103,041 miles the vehicle averages roughly 5,150 miles per year, a figure that is low for a 20‑year‑old car and suggests periods of limited use or standing. Mileage jumps are evident between 2020 and 2021 (75,178 to 75,178 with a failure then pass) and again from 2022 to 2023 (82,591 to 90,067), indicating phases of more regular driving. The overall record is relatively clean, with only minor surface rust and occasional suspension advisories. A buyer should focus on the suspension components, checking for excessive play in the front arm pins, bushes and anti‑roll bar ball joints, and inspect the rear shock absorbers for oil misting or damping loss. The front brake disc should be measured for thickness and the pads for wear, while the chassis and suspension mounting points must be examined for structural rust. Tyre condition and the functionality of registration and stop lamps are also advisable checks given the repeated corrosion and lamp failures.
