2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · AF14 EHM

The Hyundai IX35 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 96,104 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 25 February 2025 at 88,929 miles. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the five-year MOT span, and the advisory columns remain empty throughout. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,000 miles, typical for a 2014 vehicle now at 96,104 miles. The records trace a steady climb: 71,954 miles in February 2023, 79,297 in February 2024, 88,693 at the failed test on 18 February 2025, then 88,929 five days later and 96,104 by February 2026. The only anomaly is the February 2025 failure, where the tester issued a fail at 88,693 miles yet logged no defects; the car passed seven days later with no work noted, suggesting an administrative or documentation error rather than a mechanical fault. With no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged, the mechanical history implies consistent basic upkeep by prior owners. The blank advisory sections across every test indicate the tester found no minor consumable wear requiring monitoring either. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the car's twelve years. Verify the actual reason for the February 2025 fail with the test station, and confirm brake calipers, coil springs, and tyre tread are sound despite the clean record. The sparse MOT data offers no evidence of neglect, but only a hands-on check confirms present condition.
