2014 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · NJ64 HWW

The 2014 Hyundai ix35 maintains a stable mechanical trend, consistently passing its MOT tests over the past five years. The most recent test on 2025-07-08 at 136,008 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged a minor consumable issue. Specifically, the Offside Rear Tyre was worn close to the legal limit, displaying edge wear alongside a nail puncture repair. This isolated defect points to basic upkeep being skipped rather than an underlying mechanical failure. Overall, the vehicle presents as fundamentally sound, with no recurring structural or mechanical risks emerging in the recorded history. Covering 136,008 miles over twelve years equates to an average annual mileage of roughly 11,334 miles, which is typical for this age of vehicle. The mileage accumulation shows a steady, consistent pattern rather than prolonged periods of dormancy or sudden high-mileage runs. Between the 2022-06-21 test at 111,183 miles and the 2023-06-09 test at 122,436 miles, the vehicle covered 11,253 miles. The following year, up to the 2024-07-15 test at 127,989 miles, it accumulated 5,553 miles, before adding 8,019 miles by the 2025-07-08 test at 136,008 miles. This gradual fluctuation suggests regular use without extreme strain on the drivetrain or braking components. A buyer should inspect the rear tyres closely, as the edge wear noted on the Offside Rear in July 2025 suggests potential misalignment or worn suspension bushes. Check the Nearside Rear tyre for similar uneven wear patterns, as well as the general tread depth across all four wheels. Given the vehicle's age and 136,008 miles, a thorough undercarriage inspection is warranted to assess the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Pay particular attention to the condition of the coil springs, dampers, and braking setup, ensuring the brake discs and pads exhibit even wear without binding calipers. The nail repair flagged on the previous test also demands verification to confirm it has not caused internal tyre degradation or compromised the structural integrity of the casing.
