2004 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · PL53 HBA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having maintained a clean record through its latest successful inspections. The most recent test conducted in January 2023 at 96,870 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met minimum legal standards at that time. While the history shows failures in both 2022 and 2023, the immediate subsequent passes suggest that any mechanical issues were rectified prior to the re-tests. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. Between January 2021 at 79,983 miles and January 2023 at 96,870 miles, the car covered roughly 17,000 miles. This consistent low-mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, though long intervals between drives can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are not always captured in the MOT data. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Hyundai Getz models are prone to corrosion corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Given that the last recorded MOT was over three years ago, the vehicle is currently out of date for road use and requires an immediate test. Check the tyres for cracking in the sidewalls and the condition of the brake fluid, as low-use mileage often masks age-related material fatigue that exceeds tread-related wear.
