2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · FD63 KLP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred mechanical repairs regarding wear items. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 106,855 miles, it failed that same inspection due to a faulty windscreen washer pump. The persistence of advisories regarding rear brake discs and coil springs across multiple years suggests that the previous owner addressed only the minimum requirements to pass the MOT rather than performing preventative component replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage with roughly 10,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 11,200 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular accumulation indicates the car is used frequently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally positive for the health of seals and rubber components despite the noted age-related wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension and braking. The tester flagged corroded offside and nearside coil springs in both 2024 and 2025, a known structural weakness that can eventually lead to spring failure if not replaced. Similarly, the rear brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored for two consecutive years. An inspector should verify the thickness of these discs and check for any binding calipers to ensure the components have not reached their minimum safety limit. Given the failure of the washer system in the latest test, the fluid reservoir and pump should also be tested to ensure the repair was thorough.
