2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · BA19 RFL

This vehicle has a current MOT as of May 2026, but the most recent test history reveals a concerning pattern of neglect regarding tyre maintenance. While the car passed on May 28, 2026, it failed just six days earlier with critical defects across all four tyres. The failures included tread depth below the legal limit on the fronts, sidewall damage, and cracking or perishing on the rears. The condition trend is worsening. Early MOT entries were largely clean or involved minor issues like a wiper blade and a nail in a tyre. The jump to a total failure of all four tyres in 2026 suggests a decline in the vehicle's upkeep. The recorded mileage of 33,234 miles is low for a seven-year-old car. In this specific case, the low mileage appears to have contributed to the tyre issues, as the evidence of cracking and perishing is a typical sign of rubber degrading due to age and periods of standing rather than wear from distance. The mention of uneven tread wear on the rear tyres is also a red flag, as this often points to underlying suspension or wheel alignment problems. A buyer should first verify that all four tyres have been replaced with quality brands and check their manufacture dates.
