Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to evidence of
When viewing this vehicle, your primary focus should be on the underside. The 2024 MOT history explicitly noted corrosion on the nearside rear suspension arm, offside rear suspension arm, and the rear sub-frame. You should ask for evidence of any recent welding or rust treatment that may have addressed these issues.
Additionally, check the recent repair history regarding the track rod end ball joint dust cover mentioned in February 2026. Ensure that the brake binding issue noted in 2024 has been fully resolved and that the braking system feels consistent. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushings and steering components is highly recommended.
As a 1.7L diesel, this ix35 is likely to offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though actual figures will depend on maintenance. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary, but the 1685cc engine typically sits in a moderate bracket.
Maintenance costs for this model often involve suspension components and tyres, which are listed as common failure points in aggregate data. Expect typical diesel maintenance intervals, including timing belt considerations and fuel filter changes. The estimated annual running cost is roughly £1,400-£1,700, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
A physical inspection of the rear underside is essential. Look closely at the rear sub-frame and suspension arms to see if the corrosion noted in the 2024 MOT (where it was described as not yet seriously weakened) has progressed.
Check the steering linkage and track rod ends, as a dust cover failure was recorded in early 2026. You should also test the brakes for any signs of the binding issue reported in 2024, specifically checking if the rear discs or drums show uneven wear patterns.
This 2015 white Hyundai ix35 diesel has covered 116,106 miles as of its last MOT in March 2026. The vehicle's history shows a mix of clean results and notable advisories, specifically regarding corrosion in 2024. Its mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 7,686 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.2% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres.

Historical fault & advisory patterns
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.
