2014 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · AV14 PHX

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and brake disc surface wear defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, with the most recent test on 26 November 2025 confirming advisories for perishing or cracking across all four tyres. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record since 2018, the MOT data shows a cyclical trend of advisories relating to brake disc pitting and scoring, specifically noted in 2023, 2024, and 2019. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, certain consumable components frequently approach the threshold of advisory status during annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 49,493 miles over a twelve-year period represents a low annual accumulation of approximately 4,124 miles. This usage profile is significantly lower than the UK average, which often correlates with the specific types of defects observed in the MOT history. The repeated advisories for tyre cracking and perishing, alongside brake discs that are pitted or scored rather than heavily worn through thickness, are characteristic of a vehicle that may spend extended periods stationary or is used primarily for short, infrequent journeys. Such usage patterns can lead to surface oxidation on braking components and the hardening of tyre rubber due to lack of regular heat cycles and movement. During a physical inspection and test drive, particular attention should be paid to the condition of the tyre sidewalls and treads to ensure the perishing noted in the 2025 advisory has not progressed to structural failure. You should check for any audible cracking or visible degradation in the rubber. Regarding the braking system, the history of pitted and scored discs suggests a need to monitor for pedal judder or vibrations when applying the brakes at various speeds, which can indicate uneven surface wear or warping. Additionally, the 2020 record noted a damaged nearside front track rod end dust cover; although this was a minor defect at the time, you should check the steering for any excessive play or wandering, and listen for knocks or clunks from the front suspension when navigating uneven road surfaces. The overall mechanical trend shows a vehicle that consistently passes its inspections but frequently carries advisories for components subject to environmental degradation. While no major structural failures or significant mechanical breakdowns were recorded in the provided history, the cumulative advisories for tyres and brake discs suggest that a thorough check of all consumables is necessary. Focus on the integrity of the steering linkages and the smoothness of the braking application to ensure that the surface-level wear noted in previous years has not transitioned into more significant mechanical issues.
