2011 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · WG11 MHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift towards mechanical wear issues. The most recent test in January 2026 at 63,575 miles identified a binding offside front brake caliper. While the tester noted this was not yet excessive, it represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025. The vehicle has generally maintained a stable pass history over the last three years. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,238 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to high motorway mileage but can often lead to accelerated aging of rubber components and seals. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 10,678 miles, indicating a consistent but infrequent pattern of use. The lack of major defects in the intervening years supports the claim of relatively low mileage, though age-related degradation remains a greater risk than mechanical tear from high-distance driving. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system to determine if the binding offside caliper requires replacement due to a seized piston or a failing slider pin. The February 2024 failure regarding the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage indicates that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life, so a thorough check of all rubber boots and ball joints is necessary. Given the vehicle's age, a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential, as low-mileage cars often hide surface rust from stationary periods.
