2005 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · SD55 DZF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 112,528 miles, the car passed with a recurring adviser for a corroded offside rear brake pipe. This specific issue had been noted since the September 2024 test, suggesting that while the component has not yet reached a failure point, it has not been addressed by the owner. At 112,528 miles, this 21-year-old Hyundai shows a low annual average mileage of approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 8,000 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. While the low mileage often correlates with less wear on rubber and moving parts, the age of the vehicle is clearly contributing to environmental and material-related degradation. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The failure in September 2024 at 104,289 enough revealed multiple simultaneous faults, including a split CV boot, worn anti-roll bar ball joints, and a twisted front brake hose. Although these were reportedly repaired to achieve the subsequent pass, the frequency of suspension failures suggests components are reaching the end of their service life. Additionally, the persistent offside front oil leak noted across the last three tests needs to be monitored to determine if it is a minor gasket weep or a more significant seal failure. Attention must also be paid to the state of the exhaust system and underbody corrosion. The recurring mention of corrosion on the offside rear brake pipe, combined with the previous major exhaust leak and shock absorber failure recorded in 2023, indicates that the vehicle is susceptible to age-related rust. The deterioration of the registration plates across all tests is a minor cosmetic concern but reflects the general lack of exterior maintenance over the years.
