2005 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · KB05 HTA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 68,787 miles resulted in a pass, it flagged multiple advisories regarding deteriorating rubber components and tyre wear. The transition from multiple failures in early 2024 to a pass in 2026 suggests that the owner is addressing critical faults only once they threatened the MOT certificate. At 21 years old with 68,787 miles, this Hyundai Getz has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,276 miles per year. However, the data shows a significant spike in usage between April 2025 (51,442 miles) and April 2026 (68,787 miles), representing over 17,000 miles in a single year. This sudden increase in activity likely correlates with the accelerated wear of components such as the severely deteriorated drive shaft boots and anti-roll bar linkages noted in the latest inspection. A buyer must closely inspect the structural integrity of the front sub-frame and suspension arms. These components have been flagged for corrosion since 2024, and while the tester noted they were not yet seriously weakened, persistent rust on a low-mileage vehicle indicates long periods of exposure. The corroded nearside rear brake pipe identified in 2024 also requires verification to ensure it has been replaced or properly treated to prevent future hydraulic failure. The drivetrain and suspension should be checked for signs of grease leakage and play. The repeated failure of the constant velocity boots across 2024 and 2026 indicates a high risk of joint failure if they were not recently replaced. Given the previous failure for exhaust emissions and lambda readings in 2024, a diagnostic check of the exhaust system is advisable to ensure the engine remains efficient and stable despite the vehicle's age.
