2017 HYUNDAI IONIQ1.6L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle demonstrates a generally stable maintenance profile, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent test on 19 December 2025 at 76,898 miles. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record since 2020, the October 2025 test indicated a brief period of declining upkeep. That specific inspection flagged an offside rear tyre nearing the legal limit and a worn trailing arm bush on the offside rear suspension arm. However, the absence of these advisories in the December 2025 test suggests the owner addressed these specific wear items, indicating a reactive but effective approach to maintenance. The mileage accumulation follows a predictable and typical pattern for a 2017 vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 31,666 miles in August 2020 to the current 76,898 miles. A notable increase in usage occurred between August 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered 7,580 miles in roughly 14 months. This consistent usage suggests the car has not been subject to the deterioration risks associated with long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly. Although the trailing arm bush issue was cleared in the latest test, the presence of the advisory in October 2025 warrants a check for any residual play or noise from the rear suspension components. The pitted rear brake disc noted in the September 2023 test at 64,722 miles also suggests that while the braking system is functional, the discs may be nearing the end of their service life if they have not been replaced since that time. Finally, inspect the offside front door trim for any signs of loose fixings or further degradation, as this was flagged as damaged in October 2025. While the recent clean MOT is a positive indicator, the intermittent appearance of consumable wear items like tyres and brake discs means the vehicle requires regular monitoring of its friction materials and rubber bushings to maintain its current roadworthiness standard.
