2015 Hyundai IX35 2.0L Diesel · YN15 YRP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 100,592 miles passed despite several minor defects, including an inoperative registration plate lamp, a damaged offside rear tyre, and a rear oil leak. While the car maintained a clean record in 2024, the appearance of these issues suggests that minor consumables and seals are only addressed when they approach failure limits. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,145 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,700 miles between 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which typically helps preserve the integrity of engine seals and rubber components, despite the age noted below. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear oil leak identified in the 2025 test. While the tester noted it was not excessive, persistent leaks can indicate failing differential seals or gaskets that will require monitoring to prevent fluid loss. The history of tyres also reveals a pattern of neglect, with perishing and uneven wear noted in both 2023 and 2025. A physical inspection must verify that the current tyres are free of sidewall cracking and that the alignment is correct, as the previous records indicated edge wear on the nearside rear.
