2014 Hyundai IX35 SE Crdi 1.7L Heavy oil · NG14 AAK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 25 June 2025 at 76,003 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet across the last five five recorded tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids the common mechanical and structural failures seen in SUVs of this age. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over its twelve years. There is a notable gap in records between June 2019 and February 2022, during which the car covered only 13,587 miles. Since 2022, the usage has become more regular, with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles added annually. This low annual mileage typically reduces the mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the gradual degradation of rubber-based components and fluids. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults or failures, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related wear rather than mileage. The buyer should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the low mileage, brake calipers should be inspected for seizing or binding, and the discs checked for surface pitting from intermittent inactivity. A thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity is also advisable to ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed despite the clean test results.
