Our Verdict
This 2006 Hyundai Getz carries significa
Given the February 2023 MOT failure at 144,894 miles, any prospective purchase should be conditional on a current and valid MOT certificate — ideally a fresh test — as the most recent recorded result was a fail. Negotiate hard on the basis that the wheel bearing, rear brakes, and tyre issues flagged in February 2023 are likely to require attention imminently, as bearings described as close to failure rarely improve with time. Request any service history documentation the seller holds; while MOT records alone cannot confirm maintenance quality, the absence of recorded advisories at the 2022 test followed by a cluster of issues in 2023 suggests the vehicle may have been used intensively between tests.
The 1.1-litre petrol engine is the smaller unit in the Getz range and parts are generally inexpensive and widely available through independents. However, with this mileage, expect consumables such as cambelt, water pump, and clutch wear items to factor into your budget. Always carry out a pre-purchase inspection including a cold-start check and a road test paying particular attention to brake feel, steering smoothness, and any transmission noise — all of which would help confirm the current state of components flagged at the last MOT.
The 1.1-litre petrol Getz is among the most economical small cars to run, with fuel economy typically in the 45-50 mpg range for combined driving. As a 2006 vehicle, it sits in a low road tax bracket, likely £30-£35 per year. Insurance should fall into group 2 or 3, making it one of the cheaper options for young or low-mileage drivers.
However, the very high recorded mileage of 144,894 miles means maintenance costs are likely to escalate. Items such as the wheel bearing flagged in February 2023, rear brake components, and general suspension wear typical of high-mileage superminis will add up. Realistically, budget around £800-£1,200 annually for older high-mileage cars of this type to cover fuel, tax, insurance, and the wear-and-tear maintenance that comes with nearly 145,000 miles on the clock.
The February 2023 MOT failure specifically called out a nearside front wheel bearing with moderate play described as very noisy and close to failure — this is the single most urgent item to inspect, as a seized wheel bearing at speed is a safety risk. Jack the car up and rock each front wheel to check for play, and listen for hum or drone that changes with cornering. The rear brake issues, including the bad squeal and service brake fluctuations noted at the same test, suggest the rear drums or shoes may need attention; check for binding, uneven wear, and handbrake effectiveness.
Beyond the recorded MOT items, the offside rear tyre damage flag from 2023 should prompt a full inspection of all four tyres for age-related cracking, especially given the vehicle has likely spent most of its life outdoors. The oil leak, though noted as not excessive, warrants checking the engine and underside for fresh drips and blue exhaust smoke indicating oil consumption. Finally, inspect the rear axle for the corrosion mentioned at the last test and check for any structural rust around wheel arches, sills, and the rear axle mounting points — common corrosion hotspots on a 20-year-old supermini.
This black 2006 Hyundai Getz with the 1.1-litre petrol engine has covered 144,894 miles, far exceeding the model's average annual mileage of 4,741 — which over 17 years suggests roughly 8,500 miles per year, nearly double the typical rate. The MOT history shows a clean pass in January 2022 but a failure in February 2023 at the same mileage, with multiple concerning advisories including a noisy nearside front wheel bearing described as close to failure. The Hyundai Getz as a model records a 71.4% MOT pass rate across 28,060 vehicles analysed, which is below average and adds to the risk profile.
The Hyundai Getz shows a 71.4% MOT pass rate across 28,060 vehicles analysed, which is below the typical UK average and places it in the lower-reliability bracket for small cars of its era. The most common failure reasons are headlamp, anti-roll bar, and exhaust issues.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: HYUNDAI GETZ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Clutch release-bearing and cable wear(Moderate)
Urban Getz models often need a clutch earlier than expected, with noisy release bearings and heavy or inconsistent pedal action as the usual warning signs.
- Brake-pipe and subframe corrosion(Serious)
The shells hold up fairly well, but UK road salt attacks exposed brake pipes, subframe edges and mounting points. Neglected cars can move from advisories to MOT failures quickly.
