2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · JA08 MSA

The 2014 Hyundai IX35 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-18 at 120,830 miles recording a pass and no defects. The 2024-12-23 test at 109,769 miles also passed without issues, though a prior failure on 2024-12-20 at 109,766 miles—just three days earlier—suggests a potential unresolved minor fault. Despite this, the absence of recorded defects in subsequent tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. No structural corrosion, brake system failures, or exhaust emission issues were flagged, implying consistent adherence to regulatory requirements. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 10,069 miles annually. The 2022-07-09 test at 83,270 miles showed no concerns, followed by a 16,379-mile increase to 99,649 miles by 2023-12-28, then 10,120 miles to 109,769 by 2024-12-23. The 2025-12-18 test added 11,061 miles, maintaining steady usage. While the 2022–2023 period saw higher annual mileage, no corresponding defects were recorded, suggesting the vehicle’s components have managed wear without significant deterioration. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the car’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop over time. The exhaust system’s integrity, including catalytic converter function, merits scrutiny, as emissions compliance may degrade. Although MOT records show no structural rust or critical failures, a pre-purchase inspection should confirm the underbody’s condition and verify that all systems flagged in prior tests—such as the 2024 failure—have been fully resolved.
