2014 Hyundai IX35 1.6L Petrol · MT64 KWX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The January 2026 test at 99,355 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle was in good mechanical order at that time. This follows a successful retest in January 2025 after a minor failure regarding an ineffective front windscreen wiper. The absence of advisories in the last two years suggests a consistent approach to addressing consumable items before they escalate into more significant mechanical issues. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,280 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 75,586 miles in January 2020 to 99,355 miles in January 2026. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, heavy-duty usage patterns. The incremental increases between annual tests, such as the 3,224 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, reflect typical domestic driving habits for a 12-year-old SUV. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and wiper assembly. The January 2023 test at 92,935 miles flagged thin front brake pads, which indicates that wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their service life. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, a manual check of the remaining pad thickness and the condition of the brake discs is advisable. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for any signs of corrosion on the underside or exhaust system is also a prudent step, even though the MOT history has not yet flagged any structural integrity concerns.
