2014 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · RE64 YGC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final recorded MOT test conducted in April 2023 at 59,649 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a brief failure in April 2022, just two miles prior to a pass, which was rectified immediately and suggests the previous owner was responsive to MOT-related compliance requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a visible gap in records between November 2019 at 44,826 miles and December 2020 at 51,704 miles, suggesting the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to rubber-based parts like suspension bushes and tyres sidew becoming brittle or cracking due to lack of mechanical use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than high-mileage. Since the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or brake issues, the priority should be checking for surface rust on the brake discs and the condition of the shock absorbers, which can perish over time. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or cracking, as low mileage often masks age-related degradation. Given the last recorded MOT was over three years ago, a current fresh test is mandatory to ensure no new mechanical failures or fluid leaks have developed since the 2023 clearance.
