Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
When inspecting this specific grey ix35, your primary focus should be on the engine bay to check if the oil leak noted in April 2024 has been resolved or if it has become more significant. Ask the seller for evidence of any repairs made following the June 2026 MOT failure, as the specific defect was not recorded in the summary provided.
Check the service history thoroughly to see if the high mileage has been met with regular oil changes, which is critical for the 1.6L Blue Drive engine. Additionally, inspect the condition of the tyres; the 2024 MOT highlighted uneven wear on the offside front tyre, which could indicate an alignment issue or suspension component wear.
The 1591cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency under the Blue Drive branding, though running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's weight and age. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a mid-sized SUV.
Insurance groups for the ix35 vary, but buyers should obtain a specific quote for this registration. Maintenance costs for a vehicle with over 115,000 miles often increase as components like suspension, brakes, and cooling systems reach the end of their typical lifespans.
Pay close attention to the underside of the engine. The 2024 MOT record specifically flagged an oil leak; you must verify whether this was a minor seepage or a more systemic issue that required repair.
Test the steering and suspension during a road test. Given the previous advisory regarding edge-worn tyres in 2024, listen for knocks or knocks from the front end and check for any pulling to one side, which could suggest worn bushings or tracking issues.
This 2015 Hyundai ix35 SE Blue Drive has covered 116,543 miles as of July 2026, which is significant for an eleven-year-old petrol SUV. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in June 2026 and an advisory for an oil leak and tyre wear in 2024. The vehicle is currently showing no defects on its most recent certificate, but the mileage trend is steep.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Hyundai ix35 SE Blue Drive model to provide a comparative benchmark.
