2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · BK13 OFA

The most recent MOT on file is a pass from February 2025 at 151,015 miles. As of June 2026, that test is over 16 months old, so the vehicle is now overdue for its next MOT. A car with no current certificate cannot legally be used on the road unless you are driving it to a pre-booked test. This is an immediate red flag – you need to establish whether a fresh test has been done since, or budget for the risk of an unknown failure. The 2025 pass was issued on the same day as a failure that revealed serious neglect. Three tyres – nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear – had tread depths below the 1.6mm legal limit. The offside rear was close to the limit and wearing on its edge. Alongside that, the nearside rear shock absorber was leaking fluid badly enough to be classed as dangerous. These aren’t minor advisory items; they suggest the vehicle was being driven with bald rubber and a compromised damper, which harms braking, handling, and stability. While the paperwork shows the car passed after repairs, such a cluster of worn-out safety components hints at a period of deferred maintenance.
