2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · MJ09 DEW

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 95,217 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a stable trajectory following recent volatility. While the vehicle experienced failures in previous years, the owner successfully rectified the issues to achieve consecutive clean passes. This suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing identified faults rather than allowing minor mechanical issues to escalate. At 95,217 miles over 14 years, the car averages approximately 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 5,000 miles recorded between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle is not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and braking components. A buyer should focus attention on the specific nature of the failures in October 2023 and October 2024. Although the record provided does not list the specific mechanical reasons for those failures, the fact that they were followed immediately by passes suggests they related to consumable items like bulbs, tyres, or exhaust components. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should specifically check for corrosion on the exhaust system and the condition of the suspension bushes, as these are common areas of wear on the IX35 at this mileage. Testing for binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the braking system remains consistent despite the clean test results.
