2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · EY62 HCN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 4 March 2026 at 123,990 miles. While a failure was recorded on 26 February 2026 at 123,889 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that entry suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately. Since March 2023, the car has passed three consecutive tests without any recorded advisories, indicating a lack of recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,856 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 22,215 miles, maintaining a steady usage profile rather than long periods of stagnation or sudden high-mileage stress. This regular accumulation suggests the mechanical components have been used regularly, which helps prevent the seizing of brake components or the degradation of rubber seals and bushes often associated with stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas typical of a 14-year-old Hyundai. Given the clean history, there is no evidence of structural corrosion or persistent suspension issues, but a manual check of the underbody for surface rust on the exhaust and chassis remains prudent. At 123,990 miles, the condition of the shock absorbers, control arm bushes, and brake pipe integrity should be verified, as these are common points of wear that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state of decay.
