2013 Hyundai IX35 1.7L Diesel · WR63 VBA

A faultless sequence of five straight PASS certificates, most recently recorded at the December 2025 test with no advisories and no defects, points to a vehicle that has consistently met roadworthiness standards without any recorded tester concerns across successive annual examinations. The absence of any historical advisories is unusual for a car of this vintage, particularly one approaching the 93,000 mile mark, and demonstrates that the major wear items typically monitored under the MOT regime including suspension components, braking system, exhaust integrity, steering elements and corrosion-prone structural areas have all been presented within acceptable tolerances at every recent test. The record contains no advisories that have carried forward from year to year, which means there is no documented pattern of progressive component wear flagged by testers, and no historical record of minor defects that might foreshadow imminent failure on items such as brake pipes, coil springs, or subframe mountings. This is a notably clean MOT profile for a thirteen-year-old crossover. With 92,804 miles accumulated over roughly thirteen years of use, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,139 miles annually, placing it firmly within the typical usage band for its age and type. There are no extended gaps in the testing record that would suggest long periods off the road, and the consistent annual presentation for MOT over consecutive years indicates regular use rather than intermittent operation. This level of annual mileage is sufficient to keep mechanical components properly lubricated and functioning, without being high enough to imply excessive wear on major drivetrain or suspension assemblies. The mileage progression across the test entries appears steady, with no anomalous jumps that might suggest clock irregularities or inconsistent vehicle identity. For a prospective buyer, the priority on inspection should focus on the components that, while not currently flagged, represent the most common failure points for vehicles of this age and mileage band that have not yet attracted advisories. On a physical inspection, pay particular attention to the front suspension arms and anti-roll bar drop links for perished bushes, as these are typical wear items on ix35 models approaching higher mileages and can produce clonking noises over uneven surfaces before becoming visible to a tester. Check the rear coil springs for any signs of corrosion or snapping, and examine the rear brake discs and caliper sliders for binding, since caliper seizure is a known concern. On test drive, listen for any knocking from the front end over speed humps, feel for any pulling to one side under braking that might indicate a sticking caliper, and check for judder through the steering wheel under hard braking which could suggest warped front discs. Given the mileage, a thorough under-bonnet examination should also confirm no signs of oil misting or seepage around the engine block and gearbox, and the coolant expansion tank should be inspected for any residue that might indicate a minor head gasket weep, although none has been flagged. The condition of the tyres should be checked for even wear across both axles, as uneven rear tyre wear can point to rear suspension bushes beginning to deteriorate. Verify that all warning lamps extinguish promptly on ignition and that the air conditioning system functions, as climate control repairs on older ix35s can be costly. Finally, the underside should be examined on a ramp for any surface corrosion on subframe, brake lines and exhaust mounting points, as the MOT has not yet flagged these areas but they represent the natural next inspection points given the vehicle's age.
