Insight summary

Hyundai IX35 is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 47,771 represented vehicles and 0.11% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 74.8% from 353,117 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 46. The current pool shows an average of 97,470 miles and an average age of 12.0 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 97,474 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are parking brake, lighting and tyre condition. The practical read is that the Hyundai IX35 looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
