2011 HYUNDAI IX35 PREMIUM 4WD CRDI 1342.0L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT status following a clean pass on 15 November 2025 at 150,801 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent inspection resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed twice in June 2024 and once in November 2025, the lack of specific defect data suggests these failures may have been administrative or related to minor issues rectified immediately before the subsequent pass. The absence of recurring mechanical advisories in the recent history indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, though the clean record does not preclude hidden wear typical of a high-mileage diesel engine. At 150,801 miles over 15 years, the vehicle averages approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a 4WD SUV of this era. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, showing no evidence of long periods of inactivity that might lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The consistency of the annual testing cycle suggests the vehicle has remained in regular service rather than being neglected or left to deteriorate in storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the drivetrain and suspension components, as these are subject to significant stress on a 4WD model with this level of mileage. Although the MOT record is clean, it does not account for the condition of the turbocharger, diesel particulate filter, or the clutch and dual-mass flywheel, all of which are common failure points for the CRDi engine at this age. Inspect the underside for signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for play or fatigue, as these items often escape notice during a standard MOT but impact handling and ride quality. A thorough test drive is necessary to ensure the 4WD system engages smoothly and the engine delivers power without hesitation or excessive smoke.
