2015 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · FY15 CWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 113,573 miles passed, the tester flagged front brake discs that are pitted and scored. This follows a significant failure in February 2025 at 108,597 miles, where the vehicle was rejected due to a leaking brake hose connection and contaminated brake pads. Although the vehicle has passed since those repairs, the recurring issues with braking components suggest that maintenance is only addressed upon failure. The mileage progression is consistent with the age of a 2015 registration. With 113,573 miles recorded over approximately eleven years, the car has averaged roughly 10,325 miles per annum, which sits well within the expected range for a family SUV. The intervals between tests show regular use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the January 2024 and February 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and hydraulic seals. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2024 record noted play in both the nearside anti-roll bar ball joint and the nearside suspension ball joint, indicating early signs of wear in the front-end geometry. Given the 2025 failure involving a leaking hose and contaminated pads, the buyer must check for any residual brake fluid weeping around the calipers or hose lines. Additionally, the pitted front discs noted in the 2026 test will likely require replacement soon to ensure consistent stopping performance and to prevent brake judder.
