2010 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · CP10 RXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension integrity. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 107,738 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior due to critical defects. The presence of a serious leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and structural failures in both rear tyres indicates that the previous owner only addressed faults when they threatened an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance on aging components. At 16 years old with 107,738 miles, the car averages a low annual usage of approximately 6,700 miles. This mileage profile is consistent with typical low-distance local commuting. The data shows a significant gap of 12,182 miles covered between January 2024 and November 2024, followed by another 12,435 miles in the following ten months. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the age means that rubber components and suspension bushings are subject to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension assemblies. The record shows worn suspension arm bushes and ball joints appearing repeatedly across 2024 and 2025, indicating these parts have not been replaced. The buyer should also verify that the offside front coil spring was replaced following its fracture and check the nearside rear shock absorber for signs of continued fluid weeping. Given the previous failure for structural tyre separation and lumps, a detailed check of the sidewalls and manufacturing dates on all four tyres is essential to ensure no further internal failures remain.
