2007 Hyundai Getz 1.4L Petrol · SP07 EOH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in December 2025 at 49,525 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of reactive repairs in 2023 and 2024. While the car previously struggled with mechanical failures and component wear, the most recent test indicates no outstanding defects, suggesting the previous owner addressed the critical issues identified during the prior failed testing cycles. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,525 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain but often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components due to age rot. Between December 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 6,415 miles, which is consistent with its low-mileage profile, though the intervals between tests show the car may have sat for long periods despite the low mileage. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and drivetrain, as these showed recurring issues. The 2024 failures flagged corroded nearside and offside rear coil springs, alongside a split offside front drive shaft CV boot and a perished ball joint dust cover. A buyer should check for further surface corrosion on the springs and ensure the CV boots are free of grease leakage, which would indicate imminent failure. The exhaust leak noted in late 2023 should also be verified to ensure the manifold or front pipe has not developed further structural thinning since the repair.
