2014 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · LO14 EYL

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-02 inspection at 66,739 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating effective maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the car has been well-kept, with no significant wear or deterioration detected in critical systems. The mileage progression aligns with a low annual average of approximately 5,562 miles, reflecting either light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Tests spaced annually between 2021 and 2025 show gradual mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps between inspections. This pattern suggests regular but minimal operation, which may preserve components but could also indicate potential issues like seized moving parts or degraded fluids if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. A buyer should physically inspect suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, for age-related stiffness or wear, as these are not fully assessed in MOT tests. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, given the low mileage may not have sufficiently exercised these systems. Exhaust system integrity and corrosion resistance in body panels remain critical, as structural rust is often hidden and not flagged in standard MOTs. The vehicle’s history shows no red flags, but proactive checks on these areas are advisable.
