2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · SM13 KTU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 November 2025 at 74,549 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of perfect results across the last five years suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure or structural degradation during the DVSA testing process. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,735 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of usage, moving from 54,970 miles in January 2022 to 74,549 miles in late 2025. The interval between the January 2023 and December 2024 tests shows an accumulation of 9,124 miles, indicating consistent but light use. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to age-related perish of rubber components over time. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should focus on specific areas associated with low-mileage high-age vehicles. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as these components age regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and binding calipers, as infrequent use can cause components to seize or develop uneven wear. Additionally, a physical inspection of the chassis and underbody is necessary to ensure that structural integrity has not been compromised by rust, despite the lack of reported failures in the digital record.
