2005 Hyundai Getz 1.1L Petrol · VE05 UMB

The most recent MOT, conducted on September 12th, 2025, passed with noted defects concerning the windscreen wiper blades. A recurring pattern in the history involves issues with windscreen wiper blades, which were noted as defective in both the nearside and offside positions on both the most recent pass and the previous failure. The previous failure recorded on August 1st, 2022, detailed several issues, including wiper blade defects, exhaust corrosion, tyre damage, brake hose corrosion, and play in the steering rack. The trend in the MOT history shows that while some specific issues have been addressed, the presence of multiple mechanical concerns across different years suggests a pattern of wear and tear that has been present over time rather than a clear improvement. The mileage of 33,657 miles for a vehicle of this age suggests relatively light use, as the annual mileage is around 1,603 miles. However, the history indicates that significant components, such as tyres, brake hoses, and steering rack joints, have been flagged for wear or corrosion at various points. A buyer should immediately inspect the tyres for any signs of cracking or perishing, as this was noted in recent history. Secondly, check the condition of the brake hoses, specifically looking for any signs of corrosion around the ferrule areas. Finally, thoroughly inspect the steering rack area for any excessive play or looseness.
