Used starter motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Hyundai Getz ran as a single generation from 2002 to 2011, with a facelift introduced around 2005, so a 2004 and a 2007 car sit either side of that facelift boundary. Fitment of the starter motor is primarily driven by engine code and fuel type, and whether changes were made to ancillary or mounting points at the facelift is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Yes — engine code is the single most important detail for this part, because the Getz was offered with several different petrol and diesel engines and each has its own starter motor specification. Your engine code appears on your V5C or can be retrieved via a VIN check, and supplying it to the breaker is the most reliable way to ensure you are quoted the correct unit. Do not rely on year or trim alone.
These are different engines with different engine codes, so their starter motors are not the same and you should not assume a unit from one will fit the other. Always quote your specific engine code to the breaker rather than just the badge or displacement. Giving the breaker your registration or VIN will let them verify the exact code fitted to your car.
No — body style has no bearing on starter motor fitment whatsoever. The starter motor is determined by the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type, none of which vary by the number of doors. You can safely ignore body style when searching for this part.
Yes, gearbox type can affect starter motor specification — a manual and an automatic gearbox can present the ring gear differently and may require a different starter motor. Make sure you tell the breaker whether your car has a manual or automatic gearbox alongside your engine code. Confirming against your registration will give the breaker the best chance of supplying the correct unit.
Trim level does not affect starter motor fitment; it is the engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type that determine the correct part. Higher trim levels like CDX may have come with different engine options, but it is the engine itself rather than the trim badge that matters. Give the breaker your engine code and gearbox type and the trim name is irrelevant.
