2014 Hyundai IX35 1.6L Petrol · BN64 WWZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. Despite a recorded failure on 29 December 2025 at 68,626 miles, the car passed on the same day with no defects recorded. This suggests a minor issue was identified and rectified immediately. The lack of recurring advisories across multiple tests indicates that the previous owners maintained high mechanical standards and have not ignored developing structural corrosion or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. The data shows steady usage between the annual tests, moving from 48,927 miles in December 2022 to 68,626 miles in late 2025. This low-frequency use typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components. However, long periods of standing or low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid issues which are not always captured by the MOT test. Since the MOT record shows no technical advisories, a buyer should focus on physical inspections of common low-mileage issues. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perished rubber, and check the coil springs for surface rust or fractures. Given the age relative to the mileage, verify the brake discs for pitting or heavy corrosion which can occur with infrequent use. Also examine the underbody for early signs of structural thinning, as the MOT only flags for corrosion that has already compromised structural integrity.
