Our Verdict
This is a solid option for an electric vehicle buyer, particularly given its relatively clean recent MOT history. While the 2025 failure is noted, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly.
When inspecting this specific Ioniq 5, focus on the battery health and charging efficiency, as these are critical for a 2021 electric model. Although the MOT records do not show mechanical defects, you should verify the service history to ensure the high-voltage system and cooling systems have been checked according to Hyundai's schedule.
Since the model aggregate data identifies tyres as a top failure reason, check the tread depth and wear patterns on all four tyres. Given the instant torque of the Premium EV trim, tyres can wear faster than on conventional petrol vehicles. Negotiate on the price if the tyres are nearing the end of their legal life.
As a pure electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance groups rather than fuel. Tax for electric vehicles is currently lower than internal combustion engines, though you should check the specific tax band for the 2021 registration year.
Maintenance costs for this model tend to be lower than petrol equivalents due to fewer moving parts, but you should budget for regular tyre replacements and cabin filter changes. Estimated annual running costs are heavily dependent on your home charging setup versus public rapid charging.
Review the details of the 2025 MOT failure; although no specific defect was recorded in the summary, it is worth asking the seller exactly what caused the failure at 40,042 miles to ensure it wasn't a recurring issue.
Inspect the exterior gold paintwork for any signs of damage and check the charging port for cleanliness and ease of use. Because this is a Premium trim, ensure all high-tech features and sensors are functioning correctly, as these are integral to the vehicle's operation.
This 2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV in Gold has covered 40,042 miles as of its last test, which is slightly above the model average of 9,651 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pass in 2024 and a subsequent pass in 2025 following a failure at the same mileage. The vehicle's electrical nature means traditional mechanical failures are less common in the records provided.
The Ioniq 5 shows a high average MOT pass rate of 91.7% across 8,059 analysed vehicles, suggesting generally stable compliance.
