2015 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · Y10 TAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 91,527 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just six days prior. That failure highlighted multiple defects including worn anti-roll bar ball joints, malfunctioning tyre monitoring systems, and failing tyres. The trend shows recurring issues with rear suspension bushes and consumable wear items, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they reach the point of an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The car showed very low usage in its early life, recording only 4,000 miles between 2018 and 2020 with no recorded defects. However, as the mileage increased beyond 50,000 miles, the frequency of mechanical failures accelerated. The vehicle covered roughly 17,000 miles between September 2024 and September 2025, which correlates with the appearance of significant wear on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry. The trailing arm bushes on both sides were flagged as worn in the 2025 test, and although they did not result in excessive movement at that time, these components typically degrade and affect handling stability. The braking system also shows a history of neglect; the 2024 failure for thin front pads and significantly worn discs indicates long intervals between services. You should verify the current thickness of the discs and pads to ensure recent repairs were performed correctly. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system was reported as inoperative in 2025, which should be checked for functionality as it remains a common point of failure on this model.
