2015 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EX15 RMZ

The Hyundai IX35 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 55,771 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 4 September 2024 at 51,637 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits low for an 11-year-old car, totalling 55,771 miles or roughly 5,070 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle annual accumulation: 44,051 miles in August 2022, 48,569 in August 2023, 51,544 at the failed August 2024 attempt, then 51,637 days later at the pass, reaching 55,771 by August 2025. A five-day gap between the 29 August 2024 failure and 4 September 2024 pass suggests a quick rectification, though the failure lists no defects, pointing to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Long standing periods implied by low use raise the risk of perished rubber components and surface corrosion unseen in the clean record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely static intervals. The tester logged no advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, so previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current despite the low mileage. Verify underbody condition for rust and check for binding calipers or degraded flexible brake hoses before purchase. The sparse, clean history offers no evidence of recurring consumable neglect, but the 2024 failure with zero defects warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate match the DVSA entry.
