2021 Hyundai Ioniq Electricity · CF71 AED

The Hyundai Ioniq’s most recent MOT test, conducted just six months ago on 2025-11-20 at 82,760 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This clean pass follows a consistent pattern over the past two years, with every test—including the October 2024 and November 2024 examinations—yielding identical results. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of defects does not preclude underlying wear. The most recent test’s proximity to today (July 2026) means the vehicle has not yet reached its next MOT due date, but the high mileage accumulation—particularly between the November 2024 (65,592 miles) and November 2025 (82,760 miles) tests—indicates accelerated usage that could strain suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The recorded mileage of 82,760 miles over five years equates to approximately 16,552 miles annually, a rate significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Notably, the gap between the October 2024 (62,671 miles) and November 2024 (65,592 miles) tests spans just 22 days, suggesting either a rushed test or a vehicle that was driven extensively during that period. The subsequent 12,000-mile jump to the May 2025 test (77,252 miles) further reinforces this pattern of rapid accumulation. While the MOT record does not detail service intervals, this mileage suggests consumable components—tyres, brake pads, suspension bushes, and fluid levels—may require closer scrutiny, as they degrade proportionally faster under such conditions. Given the lack of recorded defects, the most critical areas for an in-person inspection should focus on components prone to accelerated wear at high mileage. The suspension system, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers, warrants examination for uneven wear or binding, as prolonged heavy use can compromise ride quality and handling. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven thickness or signs of overheating, especially if the vehicle was driven aggressively during the rapid mileage periods. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel bearing condition, should also be assessed, as these issues often develop silently over time. While the MOT history does not reveal any advisories, the high mileage and usage pattern make these areas particularly vulnerable to hidden deterioration.
