2013 Hyundai IX35 1.6L Petrol · EU63 AEG

The 2013 Hyundai ix35 presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent 2025-07-10 MOT at 98,521 miles recording a pass and no defects. This follows a 2024-09-05 test at 96,424 miles also passing without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a 2024-08-23 test at 96,416 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, raising questions about potential technical inconsistencies in the MOT process. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests suggests the vehicle has not exhibited worsening issues, though the failed test warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 7,579 miles annually. A notable gap between the 2022-11-11 test (91,160 miles) and 2024-08-23 test (96,416 miles) spans 1 year and 9 months, during which mileage increased by 5,256 miles. This suggests periods of intermittent use, which could affect components like the battery, brakes, and suspension. The 2024-09-05 test at 96,424 miles and the 2025-07-10 pass indicate no immediate concerns, but the sparse defect history offers limited insight into long-term wear patterns. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and potential for gradual wear. The exhaust system and brake components, including discs and calipers, should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the 2024-08-23 failure—despite no defects listed—highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
