2014 Hyundai Ix35 Premium CRDI

CarHunch analysed 104 real MOT records for the 2014 Hyundai Ix35 Premium CRDI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2014 Hyundai iX35 Premium CRDI falls short of the UK average with a 75.4% first-time pass rate against the national 80%, suggesting these diesels encounter more teething issues than most cars of this age. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, and with zero advisories recorded, owners aren't dealing with creeping wear-and-tear concerns.

At 83,617 miles average, these vehicles have been driven fairly hard for a nine-year-old, yet the 0.66 failures per car tells you the damage is contained to specific recurring gremlins rather than widespread systems failure. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on whatever knocked out those quarter of failed tests—likely emissions-related components or suspension items typical of high-mileage diesel SUVs.

What to check before buying a 2014 Hyundai Ix35 Premium CRDI

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
