Hyundai ix35 Premium 1.7 CRDi | 2013 | 148,500 miles | 11-Stamp Full Service History | MOT Nov 2026 I get fed up with glowing ads that hide problems at the bottom. So here's everything wrong with this car - upfront. If that puts you off, fair enough. If not, read on. What's wrong with it: Bodywork Rust along the bonnet edge - doesn't affect structure or closing. Previous owner applied Tipp-Ex over it; a DIYer with sandpaper and a rattle can could sort it for under 50. Age-related marks on alloys and bodywork, no notable dents. Brakes Rear brakes weren't replaced at the same time as the fronts - no advisory on the last MOT, but they'll likely be due in the next 5-10,000 miles. Occasional brief twang through the brake pedal - advised it's likely a sticky slide pin or anti-rattle clip, doesn't affect braking, sort it when the rears are done. Sensors Rear sensors sometimes false-beep in wet weather - clears once dry. Interior Driver's seat bolster has wear and a small split - see photos. Still reading? Here's what's good: I've owned this ix35 for 12 months and kept it properly maintained - serviced, MOT'd, free health checks taken up, and anything flagged has been fixed straight away. Nothing has been left to develop. What's been done in the last 12 months Rear shock absorbers, front brake discs and pads, four-wheel alignment, air conditioning reconditioned (new condenser, leaks fixed, re-gassed June 2025 - still ice cold), radiator mount, three tyres, four TPMS sensors, reversing camera, full service May 2025, Hyundai recall completed. MOT valid until 27 November 2026, passed with no advisories. Clean history throughout, verifiable online. 11 Services Oct 2014, Apr 2015, Dec 2016, May 2017, Jun 2018, Mar 2019, Jan 2021, Jan 2022, Apr 2023, Apr 2024, last May 2025 @ 142006 miles Specification Full leather, heated seats front and rear, cooled glovebox, dual-zone climate, cruise control, 10" CarPlay/Android Auto with built-in dash cam, auto lights (bi-xenon self levelling) and wipers, electric folding mirrors, keyless entry and start, rear sensors and camera, auto-dimming mirror with compass, flush roof rails, full-size spare alloy, jack and toolkit. How it drives Starts and runs cleanly. No rattles, knocks or clunks. Smooth clutch and gearbox. Temperature always stable. Averaging 42mpg on hilly roads. Reason for sale Moved to a larger petrol car. Mileage is now low and I'm no longer doing the mix of journeys a diesel benefits from.
