HYUNDAI IX352014 · 1.7L DIESEL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 28 January 2026 at 41,327 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just nine days prior at nearly the same mileage. This suggests a minor issue was identified and immediately rectified to meet the minimum testing standards. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates that the vehicle has remained in good condition regarding regulated components. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,444 miles per year. Data shows a consistent progression from 38,374 miles in February 2024 to 40,258 miles in February 2025, and another 1,069 miles covered by the January 2026 test. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake pads, long periods of relative inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or flat spotting on tyres if the car has not been driven regularly over distances. A physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage use. The buyer should check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, as infrequent use often prevents brakes from clearing clean. Inspecting the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking is also necessary as these materials age regardless of miles driven. Since the MOT history shows no structural rust or recurring mechanical failures, the primary risks remain related to age-related degradation of fluids and seals rather than mechanical wear and tear.
