2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV 4X4 Electric · CF22 VHT

This Hyundai IoniQ 5 Ultimate EV 4x4 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 1 August 2025 at precisely 22,716 miles without any defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues or failing categories across the single available test suggests the vehicle has not encountered significant mechanical or structural failures within the recorded period. However, the limited MOT history—spanning just one test—precludes a definitive long-term trend assessment. Buyers should note that the 2025 test’s clean pass does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance, particularly in high-stress EV-specific components like battery cooling systems or regenerative braking interfaces, which are not routinely inspected under standard MOT criteria. The recorded mileage of 22,716 miles over approximately four years—roughly 5,679 miles annually—indicates unusually low usage for a vehicle of this age. While lower mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, prolonged periods of inactivity can introduce corrosion risks, particularly in the wheel arches, subframe, and battery tray. The static conditions may also exacerbate tyre degradation if the vehicle has remained stationary for extended periods without rotation or pressure checks. No mileage gaps or abrupt jumps are evident in the available data, but the single test date does not confirm consistent maintenance intervals. Given the sparse MOT record, an in-person inspection should prioritise EV-specific components, including the high-voltage battery system for corrosion or fluid leaks, as well as the regenerative braking system for binding or overheating. Structural integrity checks are warranted, especially around the wheel arches and subframe, where prolonged low-mileage storage could have accelerated corrosion. Suspension components—such as the rear air suspension (if fitted) and coil springs—should be examined for uneven wear or damage, while brake discs and calipers must be assessed for uneven thickness or binding, despite the lack of MOT flags. The tyres, though not MOT-tested, should be scrutinised for uneven tread wear or embedded debris, which could indicate alignment issues or prolonged stationary storage.
