2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EF62 VMA

The vehicle's MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of pass results, moving from failures in 2023 and 2024 to a clean pass in the most recent test on 1 July 2025. The 2025 result recorded no defects, which follows a clean pass in July 2024. This recent stability suggests that previous issues identified during the 2023 and 2024 failures have been addressed. The recorded mileage of 76,754 miles is low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 5,482 miles per year. While the MOT records do not provide specific mileage increments for every individual test, the overall low usage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. Low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with components that require regular movement, such as brake calipers or seals, though the recent clean passes indicate these have not presented immediate failures during testing. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension components. Although the most recent tests show no defects, the failures in July 2023 and July 2024 indicate that the vehicle has previously struggled to meet minimum standards. It is advisable to check for signs of binding calipers, worn suspension bushes, or corroded coil springs. Given the low mileage, checking for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components is also a prudent step.
