HYUNDAI IX352012 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a highly consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 13 March 2026 at 128,144 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure two days prior at 128,143 miles. The lack of recorded defects on that failed test suggests an administrative error or a minor issue immediately rectified, but since March 2023, the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet without advisories or failures. The mileage pattern aligns closely with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,153 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 116,409 miles and March 2026 at 128,144 miles, the car covered 11,735 miles, indicating steady annual use of roughly 3,900 miles annually. This consistent accumulation is generally beneficial for mechanical components, as it prevents the degradation of seals and gaskets often associated with long periods of standing, while avoiding the accelerated wear and tear found in high-frequency city driving or extreme annual distances. While the MOT history is clean, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components prone to age-related wear. Given the vehicle's age, the suspension bushes and control arm joints should be checked for signs of cracking or tearing, as these often degrade before failing. You should also examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or thinning and check the calipers for uneven wear which might indicate potential binding issues. Because the vehicle is fourteen years old, the structural integrity of the chassis and underbody remains a priority to ensure that hidden rust or rubber components have not perished over time despite the relatively low mileage.
