2013 Hyundai IX35 1.6L Petrol · EJ13 KDF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 150,303 miles passed with advisories for both rear tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a pattern seen in 2024 where an exhaust flexi leak and thinning rear brake components were noted. While the car consistently passes its tests, the recurring nature of brake and tyre issues suggests that components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds. At 150,303 miles over 13 years, the Hyundai IX35 averages approximately 11,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage shows consistent progression, with roughly 14,000 miles driven between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 11,400 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of തന്നെ, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The 2022 failure revealed excessive play in the nearside track rod end and play in the steering rack inner joints, indicating that the steering geometry has experienced significant wear. Given the history of pitted rear discs and thin pads recorded in both 2022 and 2024, the buyer must check for binding calipers and ensure the current rear brake assembly is not corroded. Additionally, the exhaust flexi leak noted in 2024 should be inspected for signs of repair or structural corrosion, as these components often degrade rapidly at high mileage before a major structural failure occurs.
