2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · AY14 TOV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 23 April 2025 at 56,698 miles recorded no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have remained within DVSA standards without the emergence of recurring faults or progressive degradation often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,725 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, such as 2,951 miles covered between February 2024 and December 2024, followed by another 3,827 miles between December 2024 and April 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has likely seen short-distance use, which reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the drying of rubber-based seals or surface rust on brake discs due to longer periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no mechanical failures or structural corrosion, a buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Focus the inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as rubber components can age and perish regardless of distance driven. Since the record shows no advisories for brake calipers or exhaust corrosion, verify that the brake discs are free of pitting and that the braking system has not seized from the intervals between tests.
