2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE Connect EV Electric · BG72 CYY

This Hyundai Ioniq 5 demonstrates a consistently strong roadworthiness record, with all three MOT tests passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 16 March 2026—just four months ago—confirmed the vehicle met all current DVSA standards at 42,181 miles, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns at the time of testing. The absence of recurring faults across three consecutive tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred servicing not captured in the MOT record. The mileage progression reveals a steady usage pattern, averaging approximately 10,500 miles annually, which aligns with typical expectations for a vehicle of this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in mileage between tests, with the most recent interval—from 17 September 2025 to 16 March 2026—covering 8,753 miles over six months. This consistency implies the vehicle has not been left unused for extended periods, which could otherwise accelerate corrosion or degrade fluid-based systems. However, the lack of service records means critical intervals for battery health, suspension lubrication, or brake fluid changes cannot be verified. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs for excessive play or corrosion, particularly at wheel arches and sills. The absence of advisories does not rule out gradual degradation in brake calipers or binding rear brakes, which are common in EVs due to regenerative braking stress; check for uneven pad wear or excessive disc thickness variation. Additionally, inspect the high-voltage battery compartment for signs of water ingress or thermal management system integrity, as these are not MOT-tested but critical to long-term reliability. The tyre tread history is unremarkable, but verify current tread depth and lateral wear patterns, as failing twice on this metric in other vehicles often signals neglect. Finally, examine the underbody for corrosion around the subframe and exhaust system, as electric vehicles with lower ground clearance can be more susceptible to salt damage.
