2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · SJ13 AEG

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing MOT tests. The most recent pass on 1 August 2025 at 118,752 miles was achieved with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test one day prior on 31 July 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,135 miles per year. The distance covered between 8 August 2022 at 88,041 miles and 1 August 2025 at 118,752 miles shows steady usage without any erratic spikes or prolonged periods of standing. This regular use typically prevents seals from perishing and keeps the engine and drivetrain in a more active state of health. The MOT record is unusually clean for a thirteen year old vehicle, showing no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over the last four years. Such a void of reported issues is rare for a car of this vintage and mileage. A buyer should therefore pay close attention to the chassis and underbody during a physical inspection to check for structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not highlight any historical rust issues. Given the lack of flagged consumables, you should manually verify the remaining tread depth on the tyres and the thickness of the brake pads. The absence of any recorded faults across several years suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance, but a physical check of the fluid levels and service stamps will confirm if this mechanical stability is supported by a full service history.
