2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EJ14 AAO

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 21 May 2025 at 69,640 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage is notably low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,803 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, growing from 40,023 miles in May 2021 to 69,640 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps or suspicious drops in the recorded figures, which suggests genuine usage rather than clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. Because the MOT history is unusually clean, it provides no data on the wear of consumables or structural degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are critical. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the suspension bushes for perishing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber degradation due to age rather than wear. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and filters were changed regardless of the low annual mileage. Low usage can lead to moisture buildup in the oil and potential battery degradation. Inspect the tyre dates to confirm they have not exceeded their safe operational lifespan, as the tread depth may remain legal while the rubber hardens over time.
