Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding immediate
Your primary focus should be on the tyres. The most recent MOT (August 2026) noted that both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for the immediate cost of a new pair of high-quality tyres.
Beyond the tyres, check the history of any punctures, as the 2025 MOT recorded a nail in the offside rear tyre. Given the high annual mileage, ask the seller for evidence of regular maintenance, specifically regarding the suspension and braking components, which are common areas of interest for electric vehicles with high usage rates.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance groups. You should expect lower fuel costs compared to petrol or diesel equivalents, though charging infrastructure and home setup will impact your daily spend.
Maintenance costs for the Ioniq are typically lower due to fewer moving parts, but with 61,885 miles on the clock, you should prepare for wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushings or brake fluid changes. Estimated annual running costs, including electricity, tax, and maintenance, fall in the range of £700-£900.
The most critical inspection point for this specific vehicle is the front axle. The MOT record from August 2026 explicitly mentions edge wear on the front tyres, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues or suspension wear. Ensure the steering feels straight and there are no pulling sensations during a test drive.
Additionally, while the recent history is relatively clean, the model aggregate data suggests that headlamps and brake hoses are common failure points for the Ioniq. Inspect the clarity of the headlight lenses and the condition of the brake components to ensure they align with the passing results seen in the 2024 and 2025 records.
This 2021 blue Hyundai Ioniq has covered 61,885 miles since its first registration in December 2021. While it has maintained a consistent pass record, the most recent MOT in August 2026 highlighted tyre wear issues on both front tyres. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 13,156 miles per year, suggesting it has been used extensively for long-distance driving.
The Hyundai Ioniq shows an 89.8% average MOT pass rate across 40,695 analysed vehicles, with common failures related to headlamps and braking systems.
