Our Verdict
This 2015 Hyundai ix35 demonstrates a ge
When inspecting this Hyundai ix35, verify that all advisory items noted in previous tests—such as tyre cracking and indicator discoloration—have been addressed. Cross-reference the mileage progression with any physical service stamps or invoices provided by the seller. Given the diesel engine variant, confirm that the vehicle has been used for journeys long enough to prevent DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) clogging, and test all electrical features including the tyre pressure monitoring system.
The 1.68L diesel engine in this ix35 typically offers reasonable fuel economy for a crossover of this size, making it suitable for longer commutes. Insurance groups for this model sit in the mid-range, and vehicle tax will depend on the specific emissions band for a 2015 diesel. Typical maintenance costs should factor in regular tyre replacements and standard diesel servicing requirements.
Estimated annual running costs for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance are approximately £1,300 to £1,600, depending on annual mileage and driver profile.
Pay close attention to the rear suspension, brakes, and tyres, as previous MOT records show failures related to seriously weakened rear brake discs and pads under 1.5mm in 2022, alongside recurring advisories for tyre cracking. Check all exterior lighting carefully, noting previous test items involving inoperative registration plate lamps and discoloured indicators. Additionally, verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) operates correctly, referencing the malfunction recorded in the 2022 test history.
First registered in November 2015, this black 1.68L diesel Hyundai ix35 has covered 86,377 miles as of its May 2024 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT history includes tests in 2022, 2023, and 2024, featuring a mix of initial failures and subsequent passes. Past failures involved worn rear brakes, tyre issues, lighting faults, and a TPMS malfunction, all of which were resolved for the subsequent passes.
The Hyundai ix35 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.2% across the UK fleet, with headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres forming the most common failure reasons.

- 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.
