2011 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · CP61 PLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. The most recent test in January 2026 at 82,751 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional lamp and play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the presence of suspension ball joint wear suggests the owner is only addressing mechanical components once they reach an MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Data shows a gap of 7,783 miles between November 2022 and January 2024, followed by another 7,066 miles between January 2024 and January 2025. This consistent low usage suggests light use, but low-mileage vehicles often suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to age, which aligns with the suspension issues noted in the history. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the records show recurring issues with uneven tyre wear. In 2022 and 2024, the tester flagged tyres worn on the edges and inner edges, which typically points to misalignment or worn control arm bushes. The failure of the anti-roll bar ball joint in early 2026 necessitates a thorough check of all remaining link links and bushings to ensure no further structural play is present that could compromise handling stability.
