2003 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · LJ53 AMX

The Hyundai Getz presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 29 September 2025 at 37,162 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show the same clean outcome. The vehicle's test history from 2022 onward demonstrates no advisories, no mechanical faults, and no recurring defects, indicating consistent compliance rather than a worsening or resolving pattern. Registered in 2003, the car shows 37,162 miles on the odometer, equating to roughly 1,600 miles annually and marking it as exceptionally low use for its age. The supplied records open on 4 October 2022 at 34,788 miles. Twelve months later, on 22 September 2023, the tester recorded 34,983 miles, a mere 195-mile increment. By 24 September 2024 the mileage reached 36,100, then 37,162 by 29 September 2025, reflecting a modest rise to just over 1,000 miles per year. Such sparse, clean data implies light running but also leaves long pre-2022 gaps unverified. One anomaly requires attention: on 24 September 2024 at 36,100 miles the vehicle failed the test yet the record cites no defects, followed by a pass on the same date with no defects noted. This contradictory entry suggests an administrative or documentation irregularity rather than a mechanical fault, but a buyer should confirm the original failure reason via the DVSA portal before purchase. Despite the absence of flagged issues, a 23-year-old low-mileage hatchback demands physical inspection of age-related components. Rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may suffer from perishing or binding after prolonged static periods. Examine brake discs for corrosion, assess exhaust emissions integrity, and check structural underbody and sills for rust. Tyres may show sidewall cracking despite adequate tread. The clean MOT ledger does not exempt the buyer from verifying these consumables and structural elements in person.
