2015 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · YN15 YRA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a recurring pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 109,793 miles resulted in a failure for a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a borderline worn nearside rear inner tyre. While the vehicle passed after these repairs, the repeated nature of tyre-related failures suggests the owner only addresses consumable issues once they reach the point of legal failure. At 109,793 miles over 11 years, the car averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for an SUV of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 6,500 miles driven between the August 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,300 miles in the preceding year. This steady accumulation of mileage indicates the drivetrain and mechanical components have been used regularly rather than being left to sit stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus specifically on the rear differential due to the slight oil seepage noted in the August 2025 test. While marked as an advisory or minor, seepage can indicate a seal failure that may worsen if left unaddressed. The history also shows evidence of brake system wear, with the August 2023 test flagging offside front service brake binding and worn front discs. A physical inspection is required to ensure the calipers are not seizing and that the braking system has not developed significant uneven thinning beyond what was noted. The recurring reports of uneven tyre wear across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggest potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should check the condition of the control arms and shock absorbers for signs of play. Given the failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in the latest record, this sensors should be verified as fully functional to avoid future MOT failures.
