2015 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · SB64 LVM

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently unsatisfactory, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2023-11-09 at 76,874 miles which was passed, but the maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of progressive deterioration. The failure to pass a MOT at 76,871 miles on 2023-11-07 indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained for over a year, with the most recent inspection occurring more than six months ago. This gap in service suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, leaving the car vulnerable to accelerated failure of critical components. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 11 years old with 76,874 recorded miles, which is consistent with typical usage for its age class, though the data is sparse. The rapid accumulation of mileage since the last MOT test implies that the vehicle has experienced significant wear on the drivetrain and suspension without proper replacement of parts. While the mileage itself does not directly correlate with the specific faults found in the MOT records, the sheer volume of miles spent since the last inspection suggests that the vehicle has been used in a way that would cause rapid component failure if not serviced carefully. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify the recurring faults and assess structural integrity, specifically focusing on the suspension and braking systems. The most recent MOT failure at 76,871 miles on 2023-11-07 highlights a nearside front lower suspension component ball joint that has been excessively worn, indicating that the suspension has likely degraded over the past six months. Similarly, the 2021-10-19 failure on the rear brake disc, which is significantly corroded and worn, suggests that the rear brakes have been subjected to high stress and potential failure. The 2022-11-02 MOT also notes a worn front tyre, which may require replacement if it is approaching the legal limit. A thorough visual inspection is therefore essential to determine if these issues represent minor consumable wear or serious structural risks that could compromise safety.
