2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · YB61 ADX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-28 at 107,082 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this follows a failed test on 2025-11-27 at the same mileage. The prior MOTs in 2024 and 2023 also showed alternating pass/fail outcomes without recorded defects. This pattern suggests inconsistent testing or potential data anomalies, as no mechanical issues were formally documented. The lack of defect entries complicates assessing the car’sTrue roadworthiness, but the repeated failures without explanation raise concerns about the reliability of the MOT records. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,082 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,649 miles over 14 years, indicating typical wear for its age. The 2023 test at 95,066 miles and the 2024 test at 100,024 miles show a 4,958-mile gap over 11 months, followed by a 7,058-mile increase to 107,082 by 2025. These intervals suggest steady usage but no significant spikes or prolonged inactivity. The MOT history is sparse in technical detail, with no specific faults listed, which limits the ability to evaluate long-term maintenance trends. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for signs of wear, as these are common failure points in older SUVs. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the frequent MOT failures, even without recorded defects. Corrosion on the exhaust system and underbody should also be checked, as these can develop unnoticed. The absence of detailed MOT findings means a hands-on inspection is critical to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond the recorded data.
