2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · FX13 LSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 140,486 miles, the record reveals recurring issues with consumables that persist across multiple years. The trend remains stable in terms of passing but indicates that components are only addressed after they reach a point of failure or advisory stage, rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 140,486 miles over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 10,800 miles per year, which aligns closely with UK national averages for a family SUV. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with roughly 4,500 miles covered between the May 2025 and May 2026, and another 3,300 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which prevents issues associated with standing for long periods. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as pitted and scored discs have been flagged in three consecutive annual tests throughout 2024, 2025, and 2026. The persistent nature of this defect suggests the owner may be replacing pads without considering the rotors, leading to uneven wear. Additionally, the failure in May 2024 due to low tread depth and the subsequent advisory for uneven front tyre wear in 2026 indicate a lack of attention to alignment or suspension bushing health. The buyer should check for irregular wear on the tyres and ensure the brake calipers are not binding causing premature degradation of the components.
