2010 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · DV60 OSU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2024 at 121,802 miles passed, it revealed immediate issues with front tyres worn to the legal limit and slightly binding rear brakes. This suggests that components are often only addressed once they reach a point of failure, as evidenced by the significant failure in early 2023 where multiple suspension defects and lighting faults were identified simultaneously. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded data between the January 2023 test at 112,597 miles and the January 2024 test at 121,802 miles, representing an increase of nearly 9,200 miles in twelve months. Given that the last MOT was conducted over two years ago as of June 2026, the vehicle has likely operated for a significant period without official roadworthiness verification, masking the current state of mechanical components. A buyer must inspect the suspension system closely, as the record shows a recurring history of worn anti-roll bar linkage joints, suspension arm bushes, and radius arm bushes between 2022 and 2023. The persistent nature of these faults suggests the rubber components and joints are reaching the end of their service life. brakes also require a thorough check, as the tester flagged binding rear calipers in both 2023 and 2024, and the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2022 should be re-evaluated to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant seal failure.
