2004 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · LF04 EVR

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor age-related defects. The most recent test in April 2024 at 106,513 miles passed with advisories for a non-excessive oil leak, windscreen damage, and a defective headlamp lens. While it passed without failure, the presence of an oil leak suggests that the engine is entering a phase where seal and gasket degradation will require monitoring to prevent more significant mechanical issues. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-two-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,842 miles per year. Data shows consistent, slow accumulation, moving from 86,573 miles in April 2021 to 106,513 miles in April 2024. This low usage suggests the car has been used sparingly, but it often leads to rubber components drying out, as seen in the 2021 advisory where rear tyres showed signs of cracking and perishing despite likely having sufficient tread depth. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and fluid systems. The 2023 test flagged slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and misting on both rear shock absorbers, indicating that the suspension components are nearing the end of their functional life. The 2024 oil leak requires a physical check to determine if it is a minor weeping or a more active gasket failure. Given the age and low mileage, the chassis must be checked for structural corrosion, as rust often affects vehicles that have sat stationary for extended periods.
