2012 Hyundai IX35 Style 2WD Crdi 1.7L Diesel · DP54 AUG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test on 24 October 2025 at 98,423 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just two days prior at 98,378 miles. While the record does not specify the reason for that initial failure, the proximity suggests a minor component adjustment or consumable issue that was rectified immediately before the successful retest. The lack of recurring mechanical advisories indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 76,394 miles and November 2024 at 91,078 miles, the car covered 14,684 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The jump of 7,628 miles between the June 2023 and November 2024 tests aligns perfectly with this annual average. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components or brake seals if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear typical of a 2012 Hyundai. A buyer should check the chassis for surface rust and inspect brake lines, as these areas are prone to oxidation regardless of mileage. Given the low usage, it is also vital to inspect the tyres for cracking and the condition of the suspension bushes, which can dry out and perish over time rather than through distance driven alone.
