2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · BG12 ADZ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 April 2025 at 144,502 miles without any recorded defects or advisories. While the record shows a dual entry on the same day in 2025 where an initial failure was immediately rectified and passed, the absence of specific defect codes suggests this was likely a minor administrative or testing equipment issue rather than a mechanical failure. The history remains remarkably clear, with no advisories noted across the last four annual inspections. Accumulating 144,502 miles over fourteen years places this Hyundai at an average of approximately 10,300 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is steady and linear, showing no evidence of long periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The consistent annual testing intervals between February 2022 and April 2025 indicate that the vehicle has been subjected to regular maintenance cycles, avoiding the risks associated with neglected or abandoned cars. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that typically wear at this mileage threshold, despite the clean MOT history. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, as these parts often reach the end of their service life on high-mileage vehicles regardless of test outcomes. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear patterns or surface corrosion that might not trigger an MOT failure but will require immediate attention. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the subframes and sills is prudent, as the MOT test focuses on safety-critical integrity rather than long-term cosmetic or minor structural preservation.
