2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EN62 XOP

The most recent MOT passed on 22 May 2026, but the results indicate a significant shift in the vehicle's mechanical condition. While the car remains roadworthy, the report highlights several age-related issues that were not present in previous years. The vehicle's condition trend is clearly worsening. From 2022 through to 2024, the car showed no recorded defects. However, since 2025, there has been a pattern of increasing degradation, moving from minor shock absorber misting and tyre perishing to more serious issues like severely deteriorated CV boots and sub-frame corrosion. With 108,777 miles recorded over approximately 13 years, the vehicle has averaged about 8,367 miles per year. This is typical usage for a car of this age, suggesting it has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods. The mechanical issues appearing now are consistent with standard wear and tear for a vehicle at this mileage and age. The main risks involve the drivetrain and structural integrity. The CV boots are noted as being severely deteriorated, which is a priority repair to prevent driveshaft damage.
