2012 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · SC08 ANN

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, though the most recent test on 05 January 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure on 22 December 2025, which occurred only eleven days after a successful test on 10 January 2025. The presence of two failures within a two-year window, specifically the failure on 16 April 2024 and the subsequent failure in late 2025, indicates a fluctuating maintenance trend rather than a stable one. The recorded mileage of 71,036 miles for a 2012 model suggests a low annual average of approximately 5,000 miles. While the record does not provide specific mileage increments for every individual test, the low overall usage relative to the vehicle's age can sometimes correlate with long periods of inactivity. The data shows a cluster of activity between April 2024 and January 2026, but the lack of detailed mileage data for the interim periods makes it difficult to track precise consumption rates of mechanical components. Because the MOT records for the failures on 16 April 2024 and 22 December 2025 do not specify the exact nature of the defects, a physical inspection is necessary to identify potential recurring issues. A buyer should focus on checking the condition of the braking system, including discs and pads, as well as the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the low mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion on the underside and to ensure that rubber components like tyres and wiper blades have not perished due to age or lack of use.
