2012 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · GY62 JNO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean maintenance record. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 September 2025 at 81,045 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This string of clean results across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not exhibit recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically signal underlying neglect. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Between October 2021 and November 2022, the car covered only 5,961 miles, suggesting periods of light use. However, a more significant increase in usage occurred between September 2024 and September 2025, where the vehicle clocked 12,827 miles in a single year. This low overall mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain components and braking system, though it can sometimes lead to rubber perishing or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for. While the digital history shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check for seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs, which often occur when vehicles are not driven frequently. Given the age of the IX35, a thorough examination of the chassis for structural corrosion and the suspension bushes for cracking remains essential, as the MOT only identifies rust once it reaches a threshold of structural compromise.
