Issues to check before purchasing a used Hyundai IX 35

Model: Hyundai ix35 MK 1 - Years 2009-2015

In this video we can see what are the main problems we need to keep an eye on when buying a used Hyundai IX35: it is a reliable car with a very resistant engine, as long as regular maintenance has been done; around one hundred thousand kilometers there is however a problem with the valves, especially for cars that are driven a lot in the city and for those converted to gas. The diesel versions show high reliability both in the 1.7 version and in the 2.0 version, especially the latter has no problems in covering more than 200/250,000 kilometers: At the same time, the clutch and dual mass flywheel are not the best, and strange noises occur inside due to loose plastics, and even the stabilizer bars can be subject to noise: it is necessary to replace the shock absorbers and rear wheel bearings even after the first 100,000 kilometers, a distance where the suspensions may require repairs; pay attention to noises coming from the drive shaft area, and it is also necessary to check the functionality of the electronic part; noises coming from the gearbox, which is very reliable, can be eliminated with an oil change. Among the minor problems we can notice wear on the seat covers, some problems with the audio system and scratches on the plastics; there are no corrosion problems.
