2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EK64 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of corrective maintenance. The most recent test on 15 January 2026 at 71,905 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful retest in January 2025 at 69,894 miles, which also showed no advisories. This recent trend suggests that previous issues regarding the braking system have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The records show a steady, albeit slow, progression of use. Between December 2021 and January 2023, the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles, while the most recent interval between January 2025 and January 2026 saw an increase of 2,011 miles. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on drivetrain components, the gaps between tests and the low annual usage can sometimes lead to component degradation from inactivity, such as seized calipers or perished rubber seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of brake disc deterioration and binding issues. In January 2024, the vehicle failed due to pitted and scored front and rear discs alongside an excessively binding offside rear service brake. Although these were cleared by the subsequent pass, the history of weak parking brakes and thinning pads dating back to 2017 suggests the braking components are a primary maintenance area for this vehicle. The record also indicates intermittent issues with tyre condition and management. The tester flagged multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit in December 2021, and a structural tyre bulge caused a failure in November 2018. While these appear to be resolved, a thorough check of the current tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity, and the condition of the suspension bushes is recommended to ensure the low-mileage usage hasn't resulted in age-related rubber perishing or uneven wear patterns.
