2011 Hyundai IX35 Premium 2WD Crdi 1.7L Heavy oil · RE11 AEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent inspection history. The most recent test on 01 September 2025 at 111,748 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an unexplained failure just ten days prior at 111,711 miles. This specific failure sequence suggests a minor issue or a component fault that was immediately rectified before the subsequent test, rather than a systemic trend of mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,450 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 97,467 miles and the July 2024 test at 107,085 miles, the car covered 9,618 miles, indicating a steady usage profile. The recent jump of 4,663 miles leading to September 2025 maintains this consistent driving habit. The lack of recurring advisories across these five MOT records indicates that the vehicle has not suffered from significant structural corrosion or persistent mechanical failures during the last four years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to age-related wear on this model. While the MOT record is clean, the age and mileage necessitate a close check of rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue. The braking system should be inspected for binding calipers or uneven wear on discs, as the record does not explicitly monitor these between tests. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the absence of surface rust on the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains as sound as the test history suggests.
