2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EJ14 ABK

The Hyundai IX35 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 February 2026 at 82,770 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual tests with clean outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern and no outstanding advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 82,770 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA data shows smooth annual accumulation: 67,648 miles in February 2023, 69,551 in February 2024, 74,419 in February 2025, and 82,770 in February 2026. A two-day failed-then-passed sequence on 12 and 14 February 2025 at 74,417 and 74,419 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault. The record is sparse on faults and clean throughout. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is now twelve years old and rubber and metal components degrade with age irrespective of mileage. The MOT history flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but standing moisture and road salt exposure can hide beneath sills and subframes unseen in a test lane. Verify in person that the 2025 anomaly involved no concealed rectification, and confirm tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions match the clean record. The previous owner clearly kept basic statutory testing current, yet absence of advisories does not equate to confirmed component life remaining on consumables.
