2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · BA19 RFK

The 2019 Hyundai Ioniq is currently roadworthy, with a stable maintenance history showing consistent MOT passes over the past three years. The most recent test on 2024-12-10 confirmed the vehicle's compliance, though minor issues were flagged: the rear brake discs showed signs of wear, scoring, and pitting, though not to a critical level, and a minor exhaust gas leak was noted. These findings suggest the car has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no major safety-critical defects emerging in recent years. The mileage progression aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, accumulating approximately 7,000 miles annually—a typical usage rate for a seven-year-old car. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 MOTs reflects a period of about 11 months with no recorded activity, which may indicate light use or a temporary pause in driving. The 2023 MOT at 21,705 miles was clean, and the 2024 test at 49,001 miles shows a steady increase in mileage without any warning signs of neglect or excessive wear. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear brake system, particularly the discs and calipers, as the scoring may indicate uneven wear or binding calipers that could worsen over time. The exhaust leak, while minor, should be assessed for potential progression into structural damage or emissions issues. Additionally, the suspension components—especially rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for wear, as these are common failure points in Hyundais of this age. A visual inspection for rust, particularly in the wheel arches and underbody, is also recommended to evaluate long-term structural integrity.
