2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV 4X4 Electric · CF72 OOY

The DVSA record for this 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV 4X4 is exceptionally sparse, with only a single MOT test logged on 16 December 2025 at which the vehicle passed with no defects or advisories recorded. Given that the car is approximately four years old, this represents a minimal data set against which to form a longitudinal roadworthiness judgement. There is no prior test entry, no failure history, and no recurring advisory patterns to draw upon, meaning the mechanical story is effectively a blank slate beyond confirmation that on one occasion the vehicle met the minimum statutory standards for the components examined at test. With 45,687 miles recorded against an age of roughly four years, the vehicle is accumulating mileage at approximately 11,422 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical usage band for a modern family EV. There are no significant gaps in testing that would imply extended periods off the road, and no sudden mileage jumps between recorded readings that might suggest inconsistent use, clock irregularities, or fleet operation. Mechanically, this usage profile implies moderate wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake components (notwithstanding regenerative braking reducing pad and disc wear on EVs), and suspension bushes, without the elevated consumption rates that would be expected of a high-mileage vehicle. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any recorded advisories means there are no specific flagged components to investigate further on the basis of MOT history alone. A test drive should nevertheless include a thorough assessment of the items most commonly affected on Ioniq 5 vehicles of this age and mileage, regardless of test outcome. Listen for any clonks, thuds, or knocking noises from the front and rear suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the lower control arms, rear trailing arms, and anti-roll bar bushings which have been known to wear on this platform. Inspect the underside thoroughly for any signs of corrosion on the subframe, suspension linkages, and brake pipe runs, as EVs used in areas subjected to winter road salt are not immune to underbody corrosion despite the absence of exhaust-driven moisture. Check the brake discs for lipping or corrosion around the outer edges, which can occur due to infrequent manual braking on a regen-heavy drivetrain, and confirm the discs still clean up adequately under firm pedal application. Beyond the chassis and brake items, the buyer should also verify the operation of all electrical systems, including the 12V auxiliary battery health, the charging port mechanism, and the infotainment and driver assistance functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, and the 360-degree camera system. On the road, monitor for any unusual vibration through the steering wheel, pulling to one side under braking, or hesitation from the dual-motor drivetrain, all of which warrant further investigation by a specialist. Finally, request evidence of the HV battery state of health report from a Hyundai dealer or EV specialist, as this is a critical component outside the scope of the MOT test and represents the most significant long-term cost consideration for any used electric vehicle.
