2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EX13 RVR

This 2013 Hyundai ix35 has covered approximately 93,676 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. While the annual mileage is moderate, the recent MOT history suggests a concerning trend regarding the vehicle's front-end mechanical health. The most significant red flag is the recurring issue with the nearside front wheel bearing. This component was flagged as having slight play in February 2024 and subsequently failed its MOT in October 2025 due to excessive play. This indicates that the initial warning sign was likely ignored or inadequately repaired, leading to a worsening condition that required more urgent intervention. The vehicle’s MOT history shows a pattern of failing on basic maintenance and safety items, including lighting, wiper blades, and suspension components like the coil spring. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025, the rapid succession of failures suggests that the vehicle may have been subjected to deferred maintenance or aggressive driving conditions that have accelerated wear on the front suspension and drivetrain. The overall trend is unstable. The repeated failures on the same corner of the vehicle suggest that the nearside front suspension and wheel assembly have been a persistent weak point. You should be wary of whether these repairs were performed to a high standard or if there is underlying damage to the hub or steering components that may cause further issues.
