2016 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · KY66 FLP

The most recent MOT from September 2025 shows a pass, but it did record a binding nearside rear service brake. While not an immediate failure, this indicates a mechanical issue that has emerged since the previous inspection. There is a recurring pattern regarding the condition of the tyres. In both 2023 and 2024, the vehicle had issues with front tyres being worn on the edges and showing signs of cracking or perishing. This suggests either a recurring alignment issue or, more likely, age-related degradation of the rubber. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be moving from a clean state in 2022 toward more frequent minor mechanical concerns. The progression from tyre perishing to a binding brake suggests that the vehicle may be experiencing issues related to how it is used or stored. With only 41,964 miles recorded over ten years, the mileage is very low for this age. While this implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the specific combination of perishing tyres and a binding brake is a classic sign of a car that has spent long periods stationary. Low usage can lead to rubber components drying out and brake components seizing due to lack of movement.
