2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EX14 XHK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on June 7 2025 at 108,503 miles. While the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes, the lack of recorded advisories across the last three tests suggests that the previous owner proactively addresses any identified faults before the next testing date. The mechanical trend remains consistent, with no evidence of escalating structural degradation or persistent mechanical failures documented over the two-year period. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The vehicle covered 11,350 miles between the April 2023 test and the May 2024 test, and another 5,587 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This steady interval indicates regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation, which often helps prevent rubber components and seals from drying out. The recent nature of the June 2025 test means the vehicle is currently within a valid window of tested compliance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in June 2024 and June 2025. Since the record shows no listed defects for those failures, the issues likely related to minor consumable items such as light bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks that were rectified quickly. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the front suspension bushes and the condition of the brake discs for corrosion is advisable, as these are common points of wear on this model. Testing the exhaust system for structural thinning will also ensure no hidden rust is developing that has not yet been flagged during the annual inspections.
