2005 Hyundai Getz 1.3L Petrol · LC05 GPK

This vehicle has passed its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026, but the report highlights a continuing issue with the nearside rear tyre being damaged or perishing. There is a clear and recurring pattern of tyre degradation. Since 2023, multiple tyres have been flagged for cracking and perishing, including the offside rear and nearside front. Most concerning is that the nearside rear tyre was flagged for perishing in May 2025 and remains a noted issue in May 2026, suggesting it may not have been replaced. The overall condition trend for the rubber components appears to be stable but poor. While the car passes its tests, the persistent nature of these tyre defects indicates a lack of preventative maintenance regarding age-related wear. The recorded mileage of 35,545 miles is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle. This strongly suggests the car has spent long periods standing rather than being used regularly. This explains the perishing tyres, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should first inspect the date codes on all four tyres to see how old they are, as rubber that has perished due to age is a safety risk regardless of the remaining tread depth.
