2021 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · CK71 AEG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 October 2025 at 66,382 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety standards. This clean record across multiple tests suggests the previous owners have maintained a proactive approach to vehicle upkeep and prevented mechanical neglect. The mileage profile reflects consistent heavy use, averaging approximately 13,276 miles per annum over the five-year period. A significant interval is noted between the September 2024 test at 44,189 miles and the October 2025 test at 66,382 miles, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rate of accumulation is above the national average for a vehicle of this age, which typically places accelerated stress on wear-related components compared to lower-mileage examples. While the MOT history shows no recorded failures or recurring faults, the physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer must examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often degrade after passing the 60,000-mile mark. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT only tests efficiency rather than the remaining pad life. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is prudent, despite the lack of advisories to date. The drivetrain should be inspected for any signs of fluid leaks or unusual vibrations that might arise from consistent long-distance driving. The absence of recorded defects in the official history is a positive indicator, but the high mileage necessitates a diligent physical verification of all consumables and rubber components.
