2012 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · EO62 AVP

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-29 assessment at 65,330 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating effective maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or failures were noted, suggesting the car has been well-maintained within its operational parameters. The absence of recurring issues across this period implies no emerging mechanical or structural concerns requiring immediate attention. The mileage progression aligns with an annual average of approximately 3,000–4,000 miles, reflecting steady but light usage over 14 years. Gaps between tests are regular, with no evidence of rapid accumulation or prolonged inactivity. The 65,330-mile total remains below typical averages for its age, which may indicate conservative driving or extended periods of storage. This pattern reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads but could leave components such as suspension bushes or coil springs vulnerable to dry rot or corrosion if not periodically exercised. A buyer should inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around chassis rails and wheel arches, given the vehicle’s age. Suspension components, including control arms and bushings, warrant close examination for stiffness or wear, as low mileage can mask degradation. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for warping or binding, while the exhaust system’s integrity is critical due to potential corrosion in stagnant conditions. No specific faults are documented, but the vehicle’s history underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical soundness beyond recorded data.
