2011 Hyundai IX35 Style 2WD Crdi 1.7L Heavy oil · NHZ 9380

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean MOT pass on 31 March 2025 at 148,195 miles. This result follows a period of instability where the car failed multiple tests before being addressed. While the history shows a pattern of intermittent failures in 2023 and 2024, the lack of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults once identified, rather than allowing minor issues to escalate. The recorded mileage of 148,195 miles over fifteen years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 10,000 miles, which aligns with typical national averages for a diesel family SUV. There is a notable gap in records between January 2020 and February 2022, where the vehicle covered roughly 26,000 miles in two years. However, the usage has accelerated significantly since the last test, with nearly 30,000 miles covered between February 2022 and March 2025. This recent surge in mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on the lower chassis and suspension geometry, as the vehicle's age and mileage often lead to perished rubber bushes and worn coil springs. Given the failures in early 2023 and 2024, it is vital to check the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear that might have been previously flagged. The structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches also requires close scrutiny, as older vehicles of this era are prone to surface corrosion that can compromise the long-term viability of the frame.
