2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV Electricity · BD22 NPA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 15 April 2026, but the recent testing history shows a declining trend in basic maintenance. The transition from a clean pass in April 2025 to a failure in April 2026 indicates that consumable components are being neglected. The tester flagged multiple tyre defects and a split windscreen wiper during the 2026 failure, suggesting that routine replacement of wear items is not being prioritised. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a four-year-old vehicle. The car covered 24,270 miles by 08 April 2025 and reached 28,946 miles by 15 April 2026. This represents an annual average of approximately 4,676 miles since the last recorded test, which is lower than the overall lifetime average of 7,236 miles per year. This lower recent mileage suggests the vehicle has seen lighter use over the last twelve months, yet the presence of perished tyre shoulders indicates the rubber may be aging due to time rather than distance. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre condition across all four wheels. The 2026 test specifically identified cracking and perishing on the shoulders of the front tyre, a fault that often stems from age-related degradation or prolonged periods of standing. You should check for similar sidewall cracking or cuts that reach the ply on the offside rear, as the previous failure highlighted a significant cut in that area. The inspection should also include a check of all wiper blades and the windscreen for any remaining chips or damage that could lead to further failures. While the MOT history shows no issues with the electric drivetrain, suspension, or braking systems, the failure to address tyre perishability and wiper effectiveness suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle upkeep. Ensure the rear seat area is cleared of obstructions to allow for a full inspection of the adult seatbelt anchorage and webbing.
