Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a significan
When negotiating the price, use the recent MOT failure and advisory list as leverage. The October 2025 test highlighted several components that will likely require replacement soon, including brake discs, a coil spring, a shock absorber, and suspension arm bushes. Ensure that any work claimed to have been carried out following the October 2025 failure is documented with receipts.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacements, as the MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit in 2023 and 2025. Given the 'light misting of oil' on the offside rear shock absorber and the corroded rear axle, you should check if these are progressive issues or if they have been addressed.
The 1995cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though running costs will be influenced by the current fuel prices for diesel. Tax and insurance groups for a 2014 ix35 vary depending on the specific trim, but as a larger SUV, insurance may be higher than a standard hatchback.
Maintenance costs for this vehicle may be elevated in the short term due to the multiple suspension and braking components identified in the latest MOT. Expect typical diesel maintenance requirements, such as regular oil changes and fuel filter replacements, alongside the specific repairs needed for the reported wear and tear.
A thorough inspection of the underside is essential. The MOT history specifically notes a 'slightly corroded' rear axle and a 'corroded' nearside rear coil spring. You should check for the extent of this corrosion to ensure it is surface-level and not structural.
Inspect the suspension and braking systems closely. The records show worn brake discs (front and rear), a worn offside front suspension arm bush, and a leaking offside rear shock absorber. Additionally, check the condition of the windscreen, as it was noted as damaged in the 2025 MOT, and verify that all lighting, including the nearside front fog lamp and side repeater, is fully operational.
This 2014 white Hyundai ix35 features a 2.0L diesel engine and has covered 80,839 miles as of October 2025. While the 2024 MOT was defect-free, the most recent test in October 2025 recorded multiple issues across the braking, suspension, and tyre systems. The vehicle's mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,686 miles per year, but remains within a typical range for a diesel SUV.
Aggregate data from over 55,000 vehicles shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.2%, with common failures related to headlamps, anti-roll bars, and tyres.
