Verdict
Citadine 5 places à boîte manuelle 5 rapports, 250 litres de coffre, notée 4 étoiles adultes à l'Euro NCAP. Les avis d'utilisateurs la décrivent plutôt fiable, mais Carwise signale une corrosion structurelle sérieuse, surtout sur les 2002-2004 : à contrôler avant tout achat.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 131 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- Production ended in 2009: a car first registered before 1 January 2015 has no malus.

Inspection checklist
Hyundai Getz I — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Contrôler la corrosion des bas de caisse, longerons et supports de suspension.
- Essayer l'embrayage à froid et à chaud.
- Vérifier la date du remplacement de la courroie de distribution (1.4 et 1.5 CRDi selon les avis).
- Tester les vitres électriques et le voyant moteur.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien et un contrôle technique récent.
Questions to ask the seller
- La courroie de distribution a-t-elle été remplacée, et quand ?
- L'embrayage a-t-il déjà été changé ?
- Y a-t-il des traces de corrosion réparées ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
