2016 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · FP66 YGL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across the most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in January 2026 at 99,714 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the DVSA standard. This follows three years of clean passes, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle effectively to prevent recurring failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical annual usage for this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 81,819 miles and the January 2026 test at 99,714 miles, the car covered nearly 18,000 miles, showing regular driving patterns. This consistent use is generally beneficial for modern hybrids as it prevents the perish of rubber seals and the corrosion of exposed metal components that often occurs during long periods of standing. Specific attention should be paid to the braking system based on the April 2023 entry at 70,719 miles. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside rear brake discs as pitted or scored. While these were rectified prior to the subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025, a buyer should visually inspect the current condition of the rear discs and pads for signs of uneven wear or sticking calipers to ensure the issue has not resurfaced. Given the vehicle is now approaching the 100,000-mile mark, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and control arm joints is advisable. Although the MOT history does not flag structural corrosion or suspension failures, high-mileage checks of the chassis for unexpected rust remain a standard preventative measure for a vehicle of this age to ensure long-term integrity.
