2016 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · RO16 YRJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical seals and structural integrity. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 93,861 miles passed, the record flagged a persistent front oil leak and corrosion on both the front and rear sub-frames. These issues were not considered severe enough to fail, but the presence of the oil leak across multiple consecutive tests suggests a developing fault that has not been proactively addressed by the owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual-use expectations, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per year. Between September 2022 and October 2023, the vehicle covered 14,457 miles, which aligns with the heavy advisories for worn brake discs and pads recorded during that period. Since then, the car has added another 36,979 miles up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which also means that components components are reaching the end of their service life at expected intervals. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sub-frames to determine if the corrosion noted in 2025 is progressing towards structural failure. Given the recurring oil leak flagged in both 2024 and 2025, the engine bay should be checked for signs of weeping gaskets or crank seals that may require expensive attention. The 2024 advisory regarding the supplementary restraint system lamp failing to illuminate on bulb check is a critical safety concern; the airbag system must be verified to ensure the safety modules are functional, as this fault was not mentioned in the subsequent 2025 test.
