2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EX12 VOF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test on 8 January 2024 at 89,393 miles showed the car passing with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and late 2021, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have maintained a high standard of operation without recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,385 miles per year over its 14-year life. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 5,469 miles, while the interval between December 2021 and January 2023 saw an accumulation of 6,245 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short trips, which reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking system, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components if the car sits for stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT record does not provide specific advisories for corrosion or bushing wear. Given the vehicle's age, it is essential to check for surface rust on the sills, subframe, and rear wheel arches. While the vehicle failed a test on 15 December 2020 at 72,440 miles, the immediate pass suggests the issue was rectified quickly and was likely a minor item rather than a symptom of a larger mechanical failure.
