2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV Electric · 140 KCG

A completely clean MOT history to date signals an unblemished roadworthiness profile for this 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV, with the latest September 2025 test confirming a pass and recording no defects or advisories. The absence of recurring or escalating issues across the single test available suggests that, at least up to the most recent inspection, the vehicle’s primary safety‑critical systems have met the statutory standards without incident. Recorded at 7,733 miles after roughly four years of age, the annual accumulation averages about 1,933 miles, which is markedly lower than typical usage for a family EV. Such modest mileage points to either predominantly short‑range journeys or extended periods of inactivity. Low‑kilometre running generally reduces wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension bushings, but prolonged stationary periods can encourage surface rust on brake rotors and tyre flat‑spotting, so visual inspection of these items is prudent. When conducting a pre‑purchase test drive, pay particular attention to the electric drivetrain’s quietness and smoothness; any unusual whine or vibration from the motor or reduction gear could indicate internal wear not captured by MOT. Verify that the regenerative braking engages seamlessly and that the pedal feel is consistent, watching for any judder that might hint at warped discs or stuck calipers. Inspect the suspension for clunking over bumps, which would reveal worn bushings or deteriorated coil‑spring mounts, and examine the steering for pull or vibration that could betray alignment or subframe issues. Finally, confirm that the charging inlet and on‑board charger latch securely and that the indicator lights function correctly, as faults in the high‑voltage charging system would be recorded as a failure if present at the time of testing. Although the MOT record shows no failures, the next scheduled test in 2026 will be the first opportunity to verify that the vehicle has maintained this clean status. Prospective buyers should request a recent battery health report from the dealer or a qualified EV specialist, as battery capacity can be affected by low‑use patterns even when not reflected in MOT data. Ensuring that the warranty remains in force and that any outstanding recalls have been addressed will further safeguard against unexpected mechanical or electrical issues after purchase.
