2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EA64 AEV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-02-25 MOT at 78,544 miles recording a pass with no defects. All prior tests from 2021 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the 2021-10-26 failed test at 51,678 miles—recorded without defects—raises a minor anomaly that may warrant further scrutiny. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging ~6,545 miles annually. Gaps between tests are reasonable, with the longest interval between 2021-10-27 (51,680 miles) and 2022-10-26 (59,518 miles) reflecting a 7,838-mile increase over 12 months. The 2025-03-11 test at 68,727 miles shows a 9,209-mile jump from the prior 2022 test, which could indicate periods of reduced use or seasonal driving patterns. No significant spikes or drops in mileage suggest erratic usage. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. The 2021 failed test, though noted without defects, implies potential transient issues that may have been resolved. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these are common in older models. Structural corrosion, especially in underbody areas, merits attention, as it can develop over time despite passing MOTs. The absence of recorded advisories is positive, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
