2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · WM13 AVY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on October 2 2025 at 104,227 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met passing standards following immediate failures in previous years. The recorded failures in August 2024 and 2025 suggest the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults quickly to ensure a passing result, indicating a reactive approach to mechanical upkeep rather than total neglect. At 13 years old, the mileage of 104,227 miles represents an average of approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a family SUV of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 4,800 miles covered in the following year. This regular interval is generally beneficial for mechanical components, as it prevents long periods of standing that often lead to seized brake calipers or perished-related components. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the lower suspension and braking system, as these are the most common points of failure on the Hyundai IX35 at this mileage. While the recent record is clean of defects, the age of the vehicle warrants a check for wear on control arm bushes and sagging coil springs. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough examination of the structural integrity along the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure that surface corrosion has not progressed beyond what is visible during a standard MOT inspection.
