2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV Electricity · CK72 SLV

Tyre tread wear dominates the recent MOT picture – the 2025 advisory flagged three tyres as being within a few millimetres of the legal minimum, and the 2026 test recorded a clean result with no further defects, indicating that the only substantive issue to date has been approaching tyre limits rather than any systemic mechanical failure. At 40,543 mi the 2022 Ioniq 5 has logged roughly 10‑11 k mi per annum, a mileage pattern that sits squarely within normal private‑use expectations for a four‑year‑old vehicle. The MOT history shows annual testing with no gaps, suggesting the car has been kept on the road consistently rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is favourable for battery health and overall component longevity. Prospective buyers should give the tyres immediate attention: verify tread depth on all four wheels, looking for the 1.6 mm legal minimum and any uneven wear that could hint at mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, feel for vibration or a pulling sensation to either side, especially at higher speeds, and listen for any thumping that might indicate a developing internal tyre defect. Confirm that tyre pressures are set to the manufacturer’s specification and inspect the sidewalls for cuts, bulges or foreign objects. While no brake, suspension or battery issues appear on the MOT record, it remains prudent to check the brake pads and discs for wear, as the vehicle’s regenerative‑braking system can mask conventional wear patterns. A brief inspection of the suspension for play in the control arms and a quick visual check for any corrosion on wheel bearings will round out the assessment, ensuring that the only imminent maintenance requirement is the timely replacement of the worn tyres.
