Known faults for Hyundai ix35
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good

Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a practical SUV with a consistent recent MOT record. While it has higher-than-average mileage, the most recent pass without defects suggests a currently roadworthy vehicle.
When inspecting this ix35, verify the service history to ensure the 200cc diesel engine has been maintained to standard, especially regarding oil changes. Given the high mileage, pay close attention to the suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bars, as these are common failure points for this specific model across the UK. Check for any uneven wear on the tyres, as the MOT history shows tyres are a known concern for this fleet. Since the vehicle failed its MOT in both 2023 and 2024, ask the owner what specific repairs were made to ensure those issues are not recurring problems.
The 2.0L diesel engine is relatively efficient for motorway miles, though urban fuel economy will be lower. Expect a moderate tax band and insurance group, depending on the specific driver profile, but buyers should check the exact insurance bracket beforehand.
Maintenance costs are generally predictable for Hyundai, though at over 111k miles, consumable parts will require replacement. Estimated annual costs including fuel and basic maintenance typically fall between £1,200 and £1,600.
Focus your inspection on the undercarriage for anti-roll bar links and bushings, as aggregate data identifies these as top failure reasons for the ix35. Also check the headlamp alignment and brightness, as this is another frequent MOT failure point for this model.
Review the MOT history for any advisories that might have appeared between the recorded tests. While the 2025 test was clean, the previous failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle requires regular attention to its mechanical components to remain compliant.
This 2011 Hyundai ix35 has covered 111,588 miles, which is significantly higher than the model's average of 7,684 miles per year. However, it has passed its two most recent MOT tests (August 2024 and August 2025) with no recorded defects. The 2.0L diesel engine remains a robust option for long-distance driving despite the age and mileage.
The Hyundai ix35 is generally considered reliable, though suspension-related components like anti-roll bars are frequent points of failure across the fleet.

Common Problems: HYUNDAI IX35
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF, EGR and boost-hose issues on CRDi diesels(Moderate)
Short-trip use and neglected servicing lead to blocked DPFs, sticky EGR valves and split boost hoses, causing limp mode and recurring warning lights.
