2015 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · DV15 RWU

A recurring pattern of nearside front tyre wear and tyre pressure monitoring system faults defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, despite a consistent string of passes including the most recent test on 6 January 2026. The repetition of edge wear on the nearside front tyre across multiple years, appearing in 2018, 2021, 2025, and 2026, suggests a persistent issue with wheel alignment or suspension geometry rather than simple tread depletion. The recorded mileage of 64,663 miles is low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,878 miles per year. This low annual accumulation indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for short-distance urban trips. Mechanically, this usage profile often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine internals but can increase the likelihood of perished rubber components, as evidenced by the tread cracking noted in the 2021 inspection. Attention must be paid to the front suspension and steering alignment during a physical inspection, as the chronic edge wear on the nearside front tyre often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect toe-in settings. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any steering pull or instability and listen for knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would confirm suspension degradation. The recurring tyre pressure monitoring system warnings and the leaking valve recorded in 2023 should be verified to ensure the system is currently operational and the tyre seals are intact. The presence of defective lenses on the offside front side repeater and nearside rear fog lamp, while recorded as minor defects that did not impact light emission, indicates a need for cosmetic replacement to restore full specification. A thorough check of all exterior lighting and a confirmation of the current tyre tread depths across all four corners is necessary to ensure the vehicle meets safety standards.
