2014 Hyundai IX35 SE Crdi 1.7L Heavy oil · FP64 VGL

The 2026‑04‑13 MOT at 120,928 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Earlier entries show intermittent tyre wear, brake binding and headlamp aim problems that were addressed in subsequent tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. The mileage record shows a steady increase of roughly 10,000 miles per year since the vehicle’s 2014 manufacture, with no anomalous jumps; the interval from the 2020 test at 84,620 miles to the 2022 test at 101,772 miles adds 17,152 miles over two years, averaging 8,576 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old diesel SUV. Recurring observations include near‑side front tyre edge wear noted in 2022 and 2020, suggesting possible alignment or suspension issues; rear service brake binding was flagged in 2021, and the parking brake efficiency fell below 50 % in 2022, indicating potential caliper or fluid problems that should be examined for wear or fluid degradation. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, verify the integrity of the parking brake mechanism, check tyre tread depth and edge wear for alignment cues, assess the aim and functionality of the headlamps, and look for any signs of structural rust or exhaust leaks, as these components have been the focus of previous advisories despite the recent clean test.
