2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · BD63 XLP

The 2013 Hyundai IX35 is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-17 at 112,109 miles showing no defects. A prior failure on 2025-12-03 at 111,886 miles also recorded no issues, suggesting the vehicle likely met requirements after minor adjustments. The absence of defects in the last three consecutive annual tests (2022–2025) indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The vehicle’s mileage of 112,109 miles over 13 years aligns with average annual usage of 8,624 miles. Tests spaced 12 months apart from 2022 to 2024 confirm consistent servicing, though the final 223-mile gap between the failed and passed 2025 tests raises questions about potential temporary non-compliance. No irregularities in mileage accumulation are evident, and the lack of recurring defects in the history suggests no systemic wear issues. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which often degrade in 13-year-old vehicles. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended. Structural integrity should also be checked, particularly for corrosion in areas prone to rust, as the vehicle’s age increases this risk. Overall, the MOT history reflects responsible upkeep, but a pre-purchase inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s current state.
