Our Verdict
This is a solid recommendation for a used diesel SUV, provided the service history matches the clean recent MOT record. The low mileage relative to its age makes it a compelling option for those needing a practical family vehicle.
When viewing this specific ix35, your primary focus should be on verifying the service intervals for the 1685cc diesel engine. While the MOT history is relatively clean, you should ask for evidence of oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the turbocharger and diesel components have been maintained.
Negotiate based on the service book rather than the MOT record alone. Since the vehicle has travelled much less than the average for a 2014 diesel, check if it has been used for short, urban trips, which can sometimes lead to DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) issues. Ensure the recent December 2025 MOT pass was supported by a fresh service.
As a 1.7L diesel, this ix35 is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though fuel economy will vary depending on load and driving style. Tax bands for this era of Hyundai SUV are generally moderate, and the insurance group typically sits in the mid-range for family crossovers.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be predictable, though you should budget for common wear items like tyres and brakes. Given the mileage is well below the 115,000-mile mark expected for a 12-year-old vehicle of this type, you are unlikely to face major component replacements immediately.
Based on the aggregate data for the Hyundai ix35, you should pay close attention to the anti-roll bar, tyres, and headlamp condition during your inspection. Although this specific vehicle's recent MOTs did not list these as failures, they are the most common points of failure for this model across the wider fleet.
Check the condition of the tyres and the alignment of the headlamps, as these are frequent MOT issues for this vehicle type. Additionally, inspect the suspension components for any signs of wear or knocking, as anti-roll bar issues are a known trend in the aggregate data for the 55,297 vehicles analysed.
This 2014 white Hyundai ix35 features a 1.7L diesel engine and has covered 62,588 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,704 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing, with the most recent test in December 2025 recording no defects. While there have been two recorded failures in its history, these occurred immediately before passing tests, suggesting issues were identified and rectified promptly.
The Hyundai ix35 shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.2% across the wider dataset, with common failures related to suspension and lighting.

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.
