HYUNDAI IX352013 · 1.7L Diesel

The Hyundai IX35 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 22 December 2025 at 104,160 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the November 2024 test at 99,810 miles passed cleanly after an initial failure on the same date with no defects logged, and the 2023 cycle showed a similar pattern with a fail on 27 November followed by a pass on 29 November at 94,771 miles, also with no defects noted. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass outcomes without recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 2013 vehicle. The car covered roughly 5,039 miles between the November 2023 test at 94,771 miles and the November 2024 test at 99,810 miles, then 4,350 miles to the December 2025 test at 104,160 miles, averaging close to 8,000 miles per year across its life. No abrupt accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the record. The sparse history with no advisories across five tests indicates the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though the absence of flagged wear items may also reflect light inspection scrutiny rather than confirmed component condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as the MOT record offers no visibility of consumable wear or latent corrosion on structural members. The same-day failures in 2023 and 2024 with no defects recorded warrant a check of the VIN and test certificate authenticity at point of sale. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain mounts should be physically assessed given the vehicle's thirteen-year age and 104,160-mile tenure.
