2014 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · WG64 FSY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging mechanical wear. While the most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 87,610 miles passed, it introduced multiple advisories that were not present in previous years. This transition marks a departure from the pristine records seen between 2023 and 2025, indicating that components are reaching the end of life. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's twelve-year age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between November 2024 and June 2026, the car covered 10,899 miles, suggesting a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity. The brief failure in November 2025 at 83,674 miles, where the vehicle failed due to a binding offside rear service brake, was resolved immediately as the car passed the re-test just two miles later without further defects. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The June 2026 test flagged front and rear suspension arm pins and bushes as worn. Although these did not yet result in excessive movement, they represent a clear degradation of rubber components that will soon require replacement. You should check for audible knocks or lateral play in the wheels to ensure the wear has not progressed. The advisories regarding worn front and rear brake discs suggest the braking system is nearing its thickness limit. Given the previous issue with a binding caliper in late 2025, a thorough check of the rotors for uneven wear or glazing is necessary. While the vehicle has been structurally sound historically, the move from clean MOT records to multiple mechanical advisories indicates the car is entering a phase of more frequent preventative maintenance.
