2010 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · MA60 GKP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 135,551 miles passed, the tester identified a severely deteriorated offside front CV boot and corroded rear coil springs on both sides. These defects follow a failure in 2024 where suspension components were flagged, suggesting that mechanical issues are often only addressed once they reach a point of failure or near-failure. At 135,551 miles, this sixteen-year-old Hyundai has averaged a roughly 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a family vehicle. The mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with approximately 10,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 4,700 miles prior to the 2025 inspection. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly but is subject to standard age-related wear on rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a recurring history of worn ball joints and bushes on both sides of the vehicle over different years. The corrosion noted on the rear coil springs in the 2025 test requires close attention to ensure these components are not structurally compromised by rust-through. Additionally, the offside front CV boot should be checked for grease leakage, as failure to replace deteriorated boots promptly will lead to expensive driveshaft damage.
