2015 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · DL12 ROW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern of deferred wear-related repairs. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 57,408 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding perishing tyres and corroded rear suspension. This marks a shift from the clean record seen in late 2022, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their functional life due to age rather than mileage. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 57,408 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing a gap of 7,034 miles between November 2025 and May 2026. However, the low annual mileage correlates with the observed degradation of rubber-based components. The tester noted cracking and perishing on both rear tyres in the latest test, which indicates the vehicle likely sat for long periods, leading to material rot despite the low total distance driven. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and braking system, as the history highlights worn suspension arm bushes in 2023 and pitted rear brake discs in 2024. The recurring issue of the nearside front tyre wearing unevenly across multiple years (2023, 2024, and 2025) suggests an alignment fault or camber that has not been addressed. The advisory for corroded rear suspension components in the 2026 test requires a close look to ensure that the rust is merely surface-level and has not yet compromised the structural integrity of the subframe.
