2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EX14 XEE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs regarding wear components. In the most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 104,946 miles, the car passed only after addressing failures involving a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, a loose nearside rear mirror, and worn suspension arm bushes. While the immediate faults were rectified, the recurring nature of suspension issues across multiple years suggests that components are only being replaced once they reach a failure point rather than through preventative maintenance. At 104,946 miles, the Hyundai IX35 has averaged an annual mileage of approximately 8,746 miles. This level of use is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle and suggests typical usage rather than heavy commuting. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests, and another 9,500 miles leading to the latest inspection. This steady accumulation matches the age-related degradation of rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension assembly, as the record noted heavy corrosion in both 2024 and 2025. The history shows a clear trend of ball joints and arm bushes failing or showing play, indicating that the front suspension geometry may be nearing the end of its service life. The braking system also required significant attention in 2025, with worn discs and thin pads alongside a binding nearside rear caliper; the buyer should verify that the recent brake work was comprehensive and that the binding issue is fully resolved to prevent uneven wear. The tyre pressure monitoring system has been a persistent issue since 2024, indicating a possible sensor or wiring fault that has been intermittently addressed. Given the noted heavy corrosion on the rear components, a physical check of the structural integrity and mounting points is essential to ensure rust has not progressed beyond surface level. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the recurring failures of suspension-related parts suggest that further mechanical expenditure may be required as the mileage continues to climb.
