The 2014 Hyundai ix35 passes its MOT slightly more often than the UK average at 82.4%, which is reassuring—but a serious concern emerges in the detail: 43.4% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, nearly double the typical rate. This is the real story; petrol and diesel variants perform similarly (83.0% vs 82.3%), so fuel choice won't help you avoid this risk.
At nearly 60,000 miles on the clock, these cars show their age through an average of 2.0 failures per test and a notably high 13.2 advisories, suggesting wear-related issues are creeping in across suspension, braking, and emissions systems. Before buying, have an independent inspection focus on brakes, suspension geometry, and steering components—the 43% dangerous defect rate means this model has a troublesome history with safety-critical systems that can develop suddenly.
The 2014 Hyundai Ix35 has a decent first-time pass rate (82.4%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.
These stats describe 14,733 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
