2015 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · LC15 HLP

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 152,344 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate re-testing following failures. The failure in late March 2026 occurred just four miles prior to the successful test, suggesting a minor or easily rectifiable defect, such as a blown bulb or a minor sensor fault, which was addressed instantly to secure the passing certificate. At 152,344 miles over 11 years, this Hyundai IX35 sits above the national average, averaging approximately 13,850 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 15,800 miles covered between the March 2024 and April 2025 tests, and another 13,600 miles recorded between April 2025 and March 2026. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has been used for motorway commuting, which typically results in less wear on clutch and brakes compared to short-distance city driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the mechanical components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural failures, the high mileage warrants a close look at the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of premature wear or leakage. Given the age and distance, checking the structural integrity of the underside for corrosion and inspecting the condition of the brake discs for thinning or heavy pitting is essential, as these components often reach the end of their functional life around this interval.
