Our Verdict
Proceed with caution as this vehicle has significantly higher-than-average mileage for its age. While the recent MOT is clean, the high mileage and history of MOT-related failures necessitate a thorough mechanical inspection prior to purchase.
When inspecting this ix35, your priority should be the service history. Given the vehicle is approaching 100,000 miles, you must verify if the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer's interval, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine. Check for any signs of clutch wear or flywheel vibration, which are common weak points on high-mileage diesel SUVs.
Negotiate based on the high mileage; this car has done more than double the expected distance for a 2015 registration. Ask the owner for specific details regarding the MOT failures in 2024 and 2026 to ensure the underlying issues were rectified properly and are not indicative of recurring mechanical neglect.
The 1.7cc diesel engine is relatively efficient for long-distance driving, likely offering between 45-55 mpg depending on conditions. Tax falls into a mid-range band for this era, and insurance groups are generally affordable for a family-oriented SUV.
Maintenance costs for Hyundais are typically predictable, but at this mileage, expect more frequent spending on consumable items and suspension components. Estimate your annual running cost including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing to be approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Pay close attention to the suspension components, as aggregate data for this model identifies anti-roll bars as a frequent reason for MOT failure. Inspect for worn bushings or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces. Also, check the depth and condition of all four tyres, as this has been a failure point in the past.
Given the high mileage, inspect the engine bay for any oil leaks around the turbocharger or diesel particulate filter system. Ensure the headlamps are aligned and the lenses are not clouded, as headlamp issues are a common failure point for the ix35 across the wider fleet data.
This 2015 Hyundai ix35 is a 1.7L diesel variant that has covered 94,170 miles, which is well above the national average of 7,704 miles per year for this model. Although it passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 without defects, the record history shows two failures in previous years, suggesting intermittent issues with maintenance-related items.
The Hyundai ix35 generally holds a fair reputation, but high-mileage examples are prone to suspension wear and lighting-related MOT failures.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: HYUNDAI IX35
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF, EGR and boost-hose issues on CRDi diesels(Moderate)
Short-trip use and neglected servicing lead to blocked DPFs, sticky EGR valves and split boost hoses, causing limp mode and recurring warning lights.
- AWD coupling and rear differential wear(Moderate)
On four-wheel-drive models, neglected tyres or missed fluid changes can strain the coupling and rear diff, producing whine, vibration or judder on tight turns.
