2014 HYUNDAI IX35 SE 4WD CRDI2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT conducted on 30 June 2025 at 67,000 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older diesel SUVs. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. There is a visible gap in the records between June 2019 and January 2022, where the car covered only 10,249 miles over nearly three years. Since 2022, the usage has become more consistent, with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles added each year. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the 4WD drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes mask age-related issues if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer should physically inspect components often affected by low-mileage use. Check the rubber elements, such as suspension bushes, drive boots, and brake lines, for cracking or perish due to age rather than wear. Given the 4WD configuration, ensure the transfer case is free of leaks and that the system has not seized from disuse. You should also examine the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, as low-frequency braking often leads to corrosion that an MOT tester might not flag until it becomes a functional failure.
