2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EX14 XEJ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 98,353 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This stable trend of perfect scores across the last five tests suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to repairs and addressed minor wear and tear before they could escalate into an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between December 2023 at 65,619 miles and December 2024 at 81,747 miles, where the car covered over 16,000 miles in a single year. However, the usage returned to a more typical level in the subsequent interval, reaching the final recorded mileage by the 2025 test. This indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which helps prevent the degradation of components often associated with long periods of stationary use. While the digital record is clear of mechanical faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this age. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often degrade at this mileage threshold. Check the brake discs for any significant surface corrosion or binding calipers, as the MOT test only monitors for efficiency rather than overall condition. Finally, inspecting the chassis for structural rust remains essential, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, to ensure the integrity of the body remains sound despite the clean test history.
