2012 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · SE12 LGL

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 20 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests without any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. The absence of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a condition meeting minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 9,550 miles per year. A significant increase in usage occurred between July 2023 and December 2024, where the odometer rose from 108,570 miles to 123,163 miles. More recently, the vehicle has seen a marked decrease in activity, covering only 10,542 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recorded failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, nor any mentions of structural corrosion. While the record shows two failures in July 2023 and December 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these may have been administrative or minor issues resolved quickly. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for surface rust, as the DVSA record does not always capture early-stage corrosion. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the coil springs and the smoothness of the gearbox is advisable. The lack of advisories is positive, but a manual check of tyre tread depth and brake pad wear is necessary to ensure consumables are not nearing the end of their service life.
