2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · BJ64 WBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 93,749 miles passed with only a minor electrical note regarding an intermittent foglight switch. This follows a failure in September 2024 where the vehicle was rejected due to an offside rear tyre with exposed cords. While the vehicle has maintained its pass status, the recurring tyre issues suggest the owner only addresses critical defects once they threaten an MOT result. At 93,749 miles, the Hyundai IX35 has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a twelve-year-old car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 7,000 miles recorded since the most recent annual inspection. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components, as the 2022 test flagged thin offside front brake pads and perishing offside rear tyres. The history of tyre damage and perishing indicates a need to check the age and condition of all rubber components beyond just tread depth. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must also check for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail structural integrity results but these are common on this model. The intermittent foglight switch should also be tested to ensure the fault is not indicative of a wider wiring loom issue.
