2007 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · SA57 JTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but exhibits a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car passed its most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 119,073 miles, this followed just four days after a significant failure. The failure record revealed a leaking nearside front brake pipe, incorrect headlamp aim, and perished rear tyres. The recurring nature of these issues suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when necessitated by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage profile is consistent with a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Records show steady progress from 113,300 miles in May 2024 to 116,589 miles in May 2025, and reaching 119,073 miles by May 2026. This low annual accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, but the age of the vehicle means rubber components and metalwork are susceptible to degradation regardless of the relatively low mileage. A physical inspection must focus on the reported corrosion of the suspension and exhaust system noted in the May 2026 tests. The presence of a leaking brake pipe is a critical safety concern that indicates the hydraulic system is suffering from age-related material failure. The buyer should inspect the entire length of the brake lines for signs of further leaks or pitting. Additionally, the report of cracking and perished rear tyres suggests the rubber compound has reached the end of life, which poses a risk of blowout regardless of remaining tread depth.
