About the 2002 HYUNDAI GETZ

The 2002 HYUNDAI GETZ is a small family car with a 1341cc petrol engine. 226 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a less common model in the UK market. It sits in the bottom 93% of 2002 cars for MOT pass rates.

With an average of 77,238 miles at 24 years old, HYUNDAI GETZ owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

2002 HYUNDAI GETZ Fuel Costs

The 1341cc petrol engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 42 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,137 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

What does it cost to own a 2002 HYUNDAI GETZ?

Total estimated annual running cost is £2,087 (£174/month), broken down as £1137 fuel, £195 road tax, £55 MOT, and £700 predicted repairs. The higher repair estimate reflects the 64% MOT pass rate. Cars in this bracket tend to need work on suspension, brakes, and emissions components.

HYUNDAI GETZ Reliability Trend

Newer HYUNDAI GETZs show better MOT pass rates than older ones, with an average improvement of 5 percentage points.

Buying a Used 2002 HYUNDAI GETZ

At 24 years old, the HYUNDAI GETZ is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age.

Common Issues to Watch For

Based on the 2002 HYUNDAI GETZ's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.

Rust and Corrosion

Watch out

At 10+ years, check wheel arches, sills, subframe, and brake lines for rust. Structural corrosion is an MOT failure. Prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Suspension Bushings

Watch out

Rubber suspension bushes harden and crack with age, causing knocking noises and vague handling. A full refresh costs £300-£800 depending on the car.

Higher Than Average Failure Rate

Watch out

With a 64% MOT pass rate, this model fails more often than most. Budget for unexpected repairs and get a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

Service History

Low risk

Always request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
