2017 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · BG67 TXD

A pattern of minor consumables-related issues and intermittent advisories defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, which most recently passed its MOT on 10 December 2025. While the record shows several years of clean passes without major failures, the most recent inspection flagged defective windscreen wiper blades and multiple advisories regarding tyre degradation. The trend suggests a vehicle that generally meets minimum standards but is currently showing signs of age-related wear on external rubber components and braking surfaces. The recorded mileage of 76,223 miles over approximately nine years equates to an average annual usage of roughly 8,469 miles. This represents a typical usage pattern for a hybrid vehicle of this age, suggesting consistent rather than excessive road use. Mechanically, this level of mileage avoids the extreme wear associated with high-intensity commercial use, but it is sufficient to necessitate the replacement of wear-and-tear items such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake discs, as evidenced by the recent advisory notes. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, as the 2025 test recorded advisories for cracking and perishing on both the offside front and nearside rear tyres. Given the age indicated by the DOT codes, these tyres may be showing signs of structural degradation due to age rather than tread depth alone. During a test drive, listen for increased road noise or vibrations that could indicate uneven wear or sidewall issues, and visually inspect the sidewalls for any further signs of splitting or bulging. The brake history also warrants a physical inspection, following a 2023 advisory regarding a rear brake disc that was noted as worn, pitted, or scored. While the 2025 test did not repeat this specific advisory, the previous record indicates the braking surfaces have been subject to surface degradation. On a test drive, check for any pedal judder or pulsation when applying the brakes, particularly at higher speeds, and listen for any grinding or squealing noises from the rear assembly that might suggest the discs or pads require immediate attention.
