Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage of 151,041 miles, your primary focus should be on the engine and drivetrain. The MOT history has consistently noted an oil leak (recorded in both 2025 and 2026), so you must verify if this has been addressed or if it is a persistent issue that could lead to more significant engine problems.
Negotiate based on the recent history of suspension and braking failures. The vehicle has seen multiple issues with anti-roll bar linkages, track rod ends, and parking brake efficiency. Ensure that all recent repairs noted in the 2025 and 2026 tests have been completed with professional invoices to provide evidence of work done.
As a 2.0L diesel, this ix35 will likely sit in a mid-to-high insurance group and tax band typical for its engine size. Fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style, but diesel engines of this era are generally efficient for long-distance motorway cruising.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the high mileage. You should budget for more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items like brake pads, discs, and suspension components, as evidenced by the 2024 MOT failure which listed multiple worn brake pads and suspension bushes.
First, inspect the engine bay and underside for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the 2025 and 2026 MOT records. Even if described as 'not excessive', a persistent leak on a high-mileage 2.0L diesel needs professional diagnosis.
Second, check the suspension and steering components. The history shows a pattern of failures in anti-roll bar joints, track rod ends, and suspension arm bushes. A test drive is essential to listen for knocks or knocks that might indicate worn bushings or ball joints. Finally, test the parking brake thoroughly, as it has failed efficiency requirements in both 2024 and 2025.
This 2014 silver Hyundai ix35 has covered 151,041 miles as of April 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,686 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically regarding oil leaks and lighting, alongside several failures related to braking and suspension components. While it has passed its most recent test, the cumulative record indicates a vehicle that has required frequent attention to maintain roadworthiness.
Aggregate data from over 55,000 vehicles shows a 77.2% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres.

Common Problems: HYUNDAI IX35
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- DPF, EGR and boost-hose issues on CRDi diesels(Moderate)
Short-trip use and neglected servicing lead to blocked DPFs, sticky EGR valves and split boost hoses, causing limp mode and recurring warning lights.
- AWD coupling and rear differential wear(Moderate)
On four-wheel-drive models, neglected tyres or missed fluid changes can strain the coupling and rear diff, producing whine, vibration or judder on tight turns.
