HYUNDAI IX352015 · 1.7L Diesel

The Hyundai ix35 remains roadworthy following the 17 February 2026 MOT test at 87,560 miles, where the examiner recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record. In the 4 February 2025 examination at 78,878 miles the vehicle initially failed yet the tester logged no defects, then secured a pass on the same day, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Subsequent tests show consistent clean results. Available mileage data spans February 2023 to February 2026 and reflects typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 61,129 miles on 22 February 2023, rose to 69,108 by 1 February 2024, reached 78,878 on 4 February 2025, and stood at 87,560 by the latest test. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 8,000 to 9,800 miles, showing steady private or light commercial use with no sudden gaps or excessive wear-indicating surges. The sparse but unblemished defect history suggests previous owners kept basic consumables within legal limits, though pre-2023 records are absent. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components that MOT advisories might not capture. The tester noted no corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects, but at 87,560 miles the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant tactile checks for fatigue. Examine subframe and sills for structural rust given the vehicle's 2015 manufacture. Verify the circumstances of the February 2025 failure with DVSA to rule out a clerical error. Confirm tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions during a road trial.
