2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · AY13 PXR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of worsening structural degradation. While it passed the most recent test in June 2026 at 135,555 miles, the tester flagged corrosion on both the front and rear suspension. This follows an advisory from the April 2025 test at 130,299 miles regarding rear suspension corrosion, indicating that oxidation is actively progressing and has now become a widespread issue across the chassis assembly. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, for example, a 9,647-mile interval recorded between February 2023 and March 2024, and another 10,336 miles between March 2024 and June 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, though the high cumulative mileage at 13 years old naturally accelerates the wear on rubber components and metalwork. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components to determine the depth of the corrosion noted in the latest record. The history shows a recurring pattern of brake component neglect, with pitted and scored discs flagged in 2021 and 2025, which suggests the owner replaces parts only when necessary rather than performing preventative maintenance. Attention should also be paid to tyres, as the record notes issues with perishing and uneven wear in 2022. The buyer should be aware that the structural integrity of the suspension is likely to require significant future investment if not addressed now.
