2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · CD05 ARE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2025 at 88,132 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum regulatory standards. Following a single failure in April 2022, the owner has successfully addressed necessary repairs and maintained a clean record through three subsequent tests. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2025, the car covered 10,909 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 3,600 miles annually. This low-mileage profile typically suggests less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals compared to higher-mile counterparts. The lack of significant gaps in testing suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods. While the defect-free record suggests diligent maintenance, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of components prone to age-related degradation on this generation of Hyundai. Given the age of the vehicle, check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting, as the MOT only identifies significant rust once it affects structural integrity. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes and boots for cracking or perishing, as low mileage does not prevent materials from becoming brittle over time. Verify the brake discs for signs of pitting or uneven wear, which can occur on vehicles that see low annual usage.
