HYUNDAI IX352010 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in October 2024 at 101,211 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a clean pass in January of that same year. While there was a failure recorded in late December 2023 at 96,039 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass in early 2024 suggest that the owner is responsive to mechanical repair requirements when they arise. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-intensity annual use, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over the sixteen-year period. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the vehicle covered 11,196 miles, but usage dropped significantly to just 3,491 miles between the October 2022 and January 2024 tests. This fluctuation suggests periods of stationary use or short trips. Low annual mileage often increases the risk of age-related component degradation, such as perished rubber or degraded fluids, despite the lack of mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody, as older vehicles of this age are prone to surface and structural corrosion on sills and exhaust mounting points. Given the clean records in recent years, the buyer should specifically check suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, which can occur over time regardless of low mileage. Testing the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable, as the record indicated no specific faults in the last two tests but does not account for the physical state of the components.
