2005 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · RA05 YNH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a period of critical structural failure and inconsistent mechanical upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 64,458 miles passed with minor advisories regarding plate deterioration and tyre condition, the preceding record shows a volatile trend. The vehicle moved into a stable state after addressing major defects in late 2024, but the presence of a structural failure during that period indicates that the car has reached a point of significant corrosion that requires close monitoring to ensure long-term viability. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,458 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows very short intervals of travel between tests, such as only 23 miles covered between the November 2024 and December 2024 examinations. This low usage pattern suggests the car may have sat stationary for extended periods, which explains the recurring perishing of the nearside rear tyre noted in both 2023 and 2025. Long-term standing often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame, as the tester flagged it as seriously corroded and weakened in November 2024. It is vital to verify that this component was fully replaced or repaired rather than merely treated. Further attention should be paid to the steering rack fixing bolts, which were reported missing in December 2024, ensuring they are now properly torqued. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, the condition of the brake hoses and suspension bushings should also be checked for age-related cracking rather than wear-related fatigue.
