2015 Hyundai IX35 1.6L Petrol · FL15 FFN

The Hyundai IX35 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 72,433 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows three consecutive clean passes in January 2025, January 2024 and January 2023. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year record, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for an eleven-year-old car. The record shows 62,158 miles in January 2023, rising to 65,738 by January 2024, 68,813 by January 2025 and 72,433 by January 2026. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 3,600 miles per year, below the 6,585 annual average implied by the age, suggesting light private use. The only anomaly is a failed test on 8 January 2024 at 65,737 miles, logged with no defects recorded; the owner rectified it the same day with a pass at 65,738 miles, pointing to an administrative or documentation issue rather than mechanical neglect. Given the clean history, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic but sufficient standard with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and verify the brake calipers and coil springs are free of binding or fatigue not captured by the annual test. The sparse record offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep, though tyre condition and wiper blades should be checked at point of sale.
