2013 Hyundai IX35 SE NAV Crdi 1.7L Diesel · BT63 ORW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass on January 3 2026 at 101,585 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history reveals two failures in late 2024 and 2025 where the vehicle failed to meet standards. This suggests the owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a failure threshold rather than replacing components based on advisories. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between October 2023 at 83,993 miles and November 2024 at 95,643 miles, representing over 11,000 miles driven in just thirteen months. Conversely, the vehicle covered only 36 miles between the December 2025 failure and the January 2026 pass. Such erratic usage patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and seals, despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the chassis and braking system. Given the recent failures, there is a high likelihood that wear-related items like brake pads, discs, or tyres were only replaced specifically to pass the tester. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, as vehicles of this age are prone to surface rust that can develop into structural weakness. Inspect the shock absorbers and worn control arms to ensure the recent clean MOT pass did not mask underlying mechanical neglect that will manifest shortly under continued use.
