Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the MOT hist
Focus your attention on the chassis and suspension. The 2024 MOT highlighted worn suspension arm bushes and corroded rear coil springs; you should confirm whether these components were replaced or if they remain as advisories. Given the age of this 1.7L diesel, ensure the service history is complete, specifically checking for evidence of major interval maintenance.
Negotiate based on the potential need for suspension work. If the coil springs and bushes mentioned in the 2022 and 2024 tests have not been addressed, this represents a pending maintenance cost that should be reflected in the purchase price.
The 1.7L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, providing competitive fuel economy for a vehicle of this size. Road tax will be determined by the vehicle's 2011 CO2 emissions bracket, and insurance groups for the ix35 are typically moderate.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the recorded wear on suspension components and brake discs. Expect a higher annual spend on consumables and preventative repairs to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Closely inspect the rear coil springs and front lower suspension arm bushes, as these were flagged as corroded or worn in both 2022 and 2024. Check the braking system, specifically the offside rear service brake which was noted as binding during the 2024 inspection.
Additionally, verify the headlamp alignment to ensure the 2023 failure was permanently rectified. As headlamps and anti-roll bars are common failure points for this model according to aggregate data, a thorough check of the lighting and steering linkage is recommended.
This 2011 black Hyundai ix35 diesel has covered 119,378 miles, which aligns closely with the model's average annual usage. The MOT record shows a generally positive trend, though it has encountered a failure for headlamp alignment and persistent advisories regarding coil spring corrosion and suspension bush wear.
The ix35 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.2%, with common failures typically involving headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres.

Common Problems: HYUNDAI IX35
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF, EGR and boost-hose issues on CRDi diesels(Moderate)
Short-trip use and neglected servicing lead to blocked DPFs, sticky EGR valves and split boost hoses, causing limp mode and recurring warning lights.
- AWD coupling and rear differential wear(Moderate)
On four-wheel-drive models, neglected tyres or missed fluid changes can strain the coupling and rear diff, producing whine, vibration or judder on tight turns.
