2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electricity · CA52 WHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical attention and safety compliance. While it passed the October 2025 test at 38,212 miles, this followed a significant failure just ten days prior. That September failure revealed critical safety issues, including a defective electronic parking brake control and parking brake efficiency falling below the 50 percent threshold, suggesting that vital braking components were not proactively maintained until the MOT test intervened. At 38,212 miles over six years, the Hyundai Ioniq has averaged approximately 6,370 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage patterns. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals between the 2023 test at 18,154 miles and the 2024 test at 26,966 miles. However, the low mileage does not translate to high maintenance standards, as the recurring failures for tyre tread depth and mismatched aspect ratios indicate that the previous owner only addressed issues when forced by a test failure rather than performing routine inspections. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the repairs made after September 2025 are robust. The recurring issues with the electronic parking brake and low efficiency suggest potential wear on the calipers or actuators that could require monitoring. Furthermore, the history of mismatched tyres and perished rubber on the offside rear indicates a lack of basic care; you should verify that all four tyres are of the same matching specification and show no signs of sidew cracking or uneven wear despite the low overall mileage.
