2012 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · RO62 AAV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 15 July 2025 at 67,372 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure on the same day that showed no recorded defects. This suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue that was addressed immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record thereafter without recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last four years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per annum. Between June 2022 at 58,259 miles and July 2025 at 67,372 miles, the car covered just 9,113 miles over three years. This low usage typically indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or seizing of brake calipers, which are not always captured by mileage-based wear patterns. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than distance. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for corrosion on the structural members and underbody sections is essential, as low mileage does not prevent oxidation. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these materials perish over time regardless of use. Additionally, verify the condition of the brake discs for pitting or rust to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in surface corrosion accumulation during periods of inactivity.
