2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · AY14 XEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a highly consistent maintenance history. The most recent test on April 16, 2025 at 73,490 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor administrative or easily corrected issue that was addressed right away before the retest. Since the April 2022 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record with no failures, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep by previous owners. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,124 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 51,129 miles and April 2025 at 73,490 miles, the car covered 22,361 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,400 miles annually. This low-average profile suggests light use, which typically results in less wear on drivetrain components and suspension systems compared to high-mileage counterparts, though the age still risks the degradation of rubber components. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on age-related deterioration rather than acute mechanical failure. The buyer should check for early signs of suspension wear in control arm bushings, which can perish over time regardless of low mileage. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, though the record does not flag binding calipers or thinning pads. The lack of structural advisories over the years suggests the chassis integrity remains in good condition to date.
