2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV Electric · D10 FBJ

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record, with both recent MOT tests—conducted on January 19, 2026, and January 21, 2025—resulting in clean passes at 22,430 and 18,252 miles respectively. No defects or advisories were recorded during either inspection, indicating the vehicle has consistently met DVSA standards without mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of recurring issues in the MOT history suggests the previous owner(s) adhered to scheduled maintenance, though an in-person inspection remains essential to verify hidden wear, particularly in high-stress components like suspension mounts and brake systems. The recorded mileage of 22,430 miles over approximately five years—equivalent to around 4,486 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, which could imply either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between tests aligns with the standard 12-month MOT cycle, with no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or extended periods without testing. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, it also raises questions about potential neglect in other areas, such as fluid changes or battery health, which may not be captured in MOT records. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus of an in-person inspection should centre on the suspension system, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these components are prone to fatigue even with low mileage. The battery and high-voltage system warrant thorough examination, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, as degradation in cold conditions or prolonged disuse can occur. Brake calipers and discs should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though the lack of advisories in recent tests reduces immediate concern. Finally, inspect the underbody for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, as standing vehicles are susceptible to rust development despite low mileage.
