2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EJ14 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. While the latest test on 23 March 2026 at 131,168 miles resulted in a pass, the preceding failure just three days prior at 131,126 miles showed no recorded defects. This suggests either an administrative error or a technicality rectified immediately upon retest rather than a recurring mechanical failure. Aside from this anomaly, the car has cleared consecutive annual inspections without advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety and emission standards. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 108,741 miles and March 2026 at 131,168 miles, the vehicle covered 22,427 miles, which aligns perfectly with typical UK usage patterns. This steady rate of use is generally beneficial for components as it prevents the degradation of seals associated with long periods of standing. The lack of significant gaps in the testing intervals suggests the owner has adhered to a standard maintenance schedule. Since the MOT record shows no historical advisories for structural corrosion or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components typical of this age bracket. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade after 100,000 miles. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear and investigating binding calipers is also prudent, though the record does not flag these issues. The clean history implies the vehicle has not been subjected to neglect or heavy structural stress to date.
