2020 Hyundai Ioniq SE Connect HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric · DL69 DTU

The vehicle presents a stable and improving mechanical trajectory, culminating in a clean pass on 2025-11-06 at 70,284 miles with zero defects recorded. The tester flagged minor consumable wear and a single door handle fault in early 2023, but these issues have since been rectified. The maintenance trend is clearly resolving, moving from a failed test in February 2023 to consecutive passes without advisories. This indicates the previous owner addressed the immediate failures promptly, maintaining the hybrid drivetrain and structural integrity without recurring mechanical or corrosion concerns. Accumulating 70,284 miles over six years results in an average annual mileage of roughly 11,714 miles, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for this age. The records show consistent progression, with 57,751 miles recorded on 2024-11-12 and 70,284 miles on 2025-11-06, demonstrating regular use without alarming jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 12,533-mile increment over the past year confirms the car remains in active service, meaning standard wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components should be expected but not excessive. Despite the clean recent history, the recurring rear tyre wear noted in early 2023 warrants a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry and wheel alignment. Both the nearside and offside rear tyres wore close to the legal limit and exhibited edge wear on 2023-02-01 and 2023-02-09, suggesting potential misalignment or worn suspension bushes that may still affect tyre scrub. A buyer should closely examine the inner sidewalls and tread depth of the rear tyres for uneven degradation. The missing offside rear outer door handle flagged on 2023-02-01 was evidently replaced following the retest on 2023-02-09, but testing the operation of all door locks and handles remains prudent. Inspect the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, ensuring the hybrid battery casing and structural mounts remain free from damage or excessive rust.
