2010 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · CA10 ACJ

Based on the official DVSA record, this 2010 Hyundai IX35 presents a clean roadworthiness picture with no recorded defects or advisories across its last five tests. The most recent MOT in February 2025 at 121,325 miles was a straightforward pass, and the two preceding failures in the same month appear to have been cleared without any faults logged, suggesting minor test preparation issues rather than underlying mechanical problems. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or escalating concerns evident in the history. The mileage of 121,325 miles over 16 years works out to roughly 7,583 miles per annum, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Annual mileage has increased from around 7,874 miles between February 2023 and 2024 to approximately 10,174 miles in the year leading to February 2025, indicating a period of heavier use. This is not unusual and does not signal abuse, but it does mean consumables like tyres and brakes have seen more wear in that final year. The mileage progression is consistent with regular driving, and there are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that naturally degrade on a 16-year-old, 121,000-mile vehicle. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these are common failure points on the IX35 of this era. Inspect the brake discs and pads for wear, and listen for binding callipers during a test drive. Examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounts, and verify the exhaust system is free from leaks. The record implies conscientious upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains essential to confirm the car’s true condition.
