2014 Hyundai IX35 S Crdi 1.7L Heavy oil · HR02 ABZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection on 10 January 2026 at 134,634 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating the car was currently in a compliant mechanical state. This follows a successful pass in January 2025 after a brief failure just six days prior, suggesting the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified issues immediately to maintain a clean test record. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per annum. Between December 2022 at 104,187 miles and January 2026 at 134,634 miles, the car covered roughly 30,000 miles, representing a steady usage pattern rather than erratic bursts of driving. The gap of 10,000 miles between the January 2024 and 2025 tests shows regular annual operation, which typically ensures even wear across mechanical components and service intervals. Given the clean results of the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on high-mileage components common to the Hyundai ix35 platform. A buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade after the 130,000-mile mark. Particular attention should be paid to surface corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust mounting, as the MOT record does not explicitly rule out emerging rust. Checking for brake caliper binding or uneven pad wear will also confirm if the lack of recorded defects in the history reflects actual mechanical health.
