2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SH68 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 3 July 2026 at 45,825 miles resulting in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful inspection in July 2025 at 42,731 miles, which also showed no advisories. The absence of mechanical or structural issues in the two most recent tests suggests that previous maintenance concerns have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained state. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,728 miles per year. The records show consistent, incremental usage, moving from 29,076 miles in November 2021 to 45,825 miles in July 2026. This steady pattern indicates regular, short-distance driving rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate the risks of seized components or fluid degradation often found in vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. A recurring trend of tyre-related advisories appeared between November 2022 and July 2024. The tester flagged cracking or perishing on the rear tyres in the 2022 and 2023 tests, and by July 2024 at 39,278 miles, all four tyres were noted as being worn close to the legal limit or damaged. While these issues were resolved by the 2025 test, the history suggests a pattern where tyre replacement was deferred until the legal limit was reached. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth to ensure the current set is not showing signs of age-related perishing. Although no suspension or braking issues were flagged, the history of tyre wear warrants a close look at the wheel arches and suspension bushes to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in uneven wear patterns. The current clean MOT record provides a positive baseline for the vehicle's mechanical condition.
