2013 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · X3 CBP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 59,393 miles, which returned a clean pass with no defects. This result indicates that previous maintenance issues have been addressed. The history shows a clear trend of resolving recurring consumable wear, moving from a failure in July 2023 to a clean certificate in the most recent inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,569 miles per year. Between May 2022 and June 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 9,000 miles, suggesting infrequent use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the record shows that the vehicle has sat long enough for tyres to perish, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted on the nearside rear tyre during the May 2022 test. The MOT history highlights a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding consumables. The July 2023 failure and the subsequent June 2024 advisories show a recurring tendency to run brake pads and tyres close to their legal limits. Specifically, the tester flagged thin offside front brake pads and worn front tyres in both 2023 and 2024. Although the 2025 test shows these have been rectified, the history suggests the previous owner operated the vehicle with minimal attention to routine wear items. A prospective buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition to ensure the recent pass reflects comprehensive work rather than a superficial fix. Given the low annual mileage, check the tyres for age-related sidewall cracking or flat spots from periods of inactivity. While no structural corrosion or suspension component failures were flagged, the recurring tyre and brake issues indicate that a thorough check of the front axle consumables is a necessary precaution.
