2015 Hyundai IX35 S Crdi Blue Drive 1.7L Heavy oil · RJ65 LXP

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 1 May 2026 at 102,826 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving following a single failure in early 2025. The fact that the vehicle passed its most recent test without any advisories or defects shortly after the prior failure suggests that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to return the car to a compliant standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a diesel crossover, averaging approximately 9,350 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between April 2023 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 30,000 miles in under two years. This surge in mileage coincides with the MOT failure in January 2025 at 83,687 miles. Since that period, the vehicle has covered an additional 18,000 miles, indicating a sustained high rate of operation that places consistent wear on mechanical components. While the recent history is clear of faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and braking system. Given the higher mileage accumulation in the last three years, check for worn wisharm bushes and leaking shock absorbers which often degrade at this mileage bracket. The brake discs should be inspected for excessive thinning or pitting, as the MOT record does not account for the thickness of consumable pads. Additionally, examine the chassis for signs of surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the vehicle's age.
