2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EU63 WFN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 at 81,282 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than proactive replacement. While the 2025 test passed, it introduced advisories for both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear, suggesting a lack of recent attention to basic consumable upkeep prior to the test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,250 miles per year. Between August 2021 and August 2025, the car covered 12,790 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 3,200 miles annually. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber-based components perishing or seals degrading due to time exposure regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering and suspension assembly following the reported knocking from the steering rack in 2023 at 75,393 miles. Although the vehicle passed subsequently, such faults often point to internal wear in the rack or worn bushings that require monitoring. Additionally, the track rod end dust covers noted in 2021 should be re-checked for signs of tearing or leakage, as these lead to premature joint failure. The uneven tyre wear identified in the 2025 test necessitates a professional wheel alignment check to ensure new tyres are not prematurely scrubbed.
