2007 Hyundai Getz 1.4L Petrol · YP07 JUU

This 2007 Hyundai Getz has passed its most recent MOT in August 2025, but the inspection revealed a deteriorating braking system and worn front tyres that signal ongoing neglect. At 118,801 miles over nearly 19 years—roughly 6,250 miles per year—the mileage is typical for the age and does not by itself indicate hard use, but the mechanical defects suggest the vehicle has not been well maintained despite light annual running. The most serious concern is the brake system. The brake pedal has been wearing smooth for at least two years, which indicates excessive friction and degradation of the pedal pad. More worryingly, rear brake pipes were recorded as corroded in July 2024, and though this was not flagged again in August 2025, corrosion does not typically reverse without active treatment. Combined with the smooth pedal, this pattern suggests the brakes are under stress and may not be providing safe stopping power. The front brake discs were visibly worn and pitted back in July 2024 and have now been in service for another year. Tyre wear is accelerating. In July 2024, the offside front tyre was below the legal 1.6mm minimum and the nearside was close to the limit. By August 2025—just over a year later—the nearside front tyre is now worn bald on the inner edge and described as close to legal limits.
