2006 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · MP55 RZN

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness status with a worsening trend in mechanical and structural neglect. While it achieved a clean pass in April 2024, the most recent test in March 2025 at 137,911 miles resulted in a significant failure across multiple critical systems. The transition from a clean record to a failure involving lighting, suspension components, and structural integrity suggests that the vehicle is now entering a reactive maintenance phase rather than preventative care. At 137,911 miles, this twenty-year-old Hyundai has averaged approximately 6,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate annual usage. However, the 6,444 miles covered between the April 2024 and March 2025 tests indicate the car is still in regular use. The low mileage has not shielded the vehicle from age-related rubber degradation or metal oxidation, as evidenced by the deteriorating state of the components identified in the latest inspection. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the nearside rear wheel arch, as the 2025 test flagged corrosion close to becoming a sharp edge, which often indicates the beginning of structural decay. The tester also identified failed dust covers on the front anti-roll bar linkage and the suspension arm ball joint, alongside a torn nearside CV boot. These faults allow moisture ingress and will lead to rapid joint failure if not addressed. The lighting system also requires immediate attention; the recurring failures regarding taped headlamp lenses and electrical issues with the position lamp switch indicate a makeshift approach to repairs that does not meet professional standards.
