2015 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · DS65 MSX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and wear components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 112,965 miles identified wear on the rear trailing arm bushes on both the nearside and offside sides, the vehicle did not result in a failure. This represents a progression from the clean records seen in earlier years, indicating that rubber-based components are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,270 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, with a 15,000-mile interval between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 16,921 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular usage suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which explains the gradual degradation of consumable items like the brake discs and tyres noted in the later advisories. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2025 test flagged play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and worn tyres, while the 2024 record highlighted pitted front brake discs. Given that the January 2026 advisory noted worn rear suspension bushes, an inspector must check for clunking or uneven tyre wear during a test drive. These recurring suspension issues indicate that the underbody will likely require investment soon to prevent future MOT failures and maintain handling stability.
