Our Verdict
This 2015 Hyundai ix35 presents a generally solid buying opportunity with a clean recent MOT pass at 113,322 miles. While it has recorded immediate re-tests resulting in passes, its overall MOT history shows no lingering advisories.
When inspecting this 1.685L diesel Hyundai ix35, verify the paperwork surrounding the same-day failure and pass events recorded in January 2025 and January 2026 to understand why initial tests were refused before being immediately rectified. Given the higher-than-average mileage, carefully check the service history for regular oil changes and maintenance records to supplement the MOT data. Negotiate based on the vehicle's mileage and the history of initial test failures.
Fuel economy for the 1.685cc diesel engine is generally competitive for a compact SUV of this age, though actual costs will depend on driving style. Road tax and insurance group placements should be checked against current UK vehicle taxation and insurance databases. Maintenance costs will reflect typical wear and tear for a vehicle with over 113,000 miles, including potential replacement of common wear items like tyres and suspension components.
Pay close attention to common Hyundai ix35 weak points identified in aggregate model data, specifically the anti-roll bars, tyres, and headlamps. Inspect the suspension and steering components thoroughly during a test drive, as anti-roll bar wear is a frequent advisory and failure point for this model line. Additionally, check the condition of all tyres and ensure the lighting system is fully functional.
