2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Premium EV Electric · DN75 FBC

The vehicle has no MOT history on the DVSA record, which is expected for a 2025 model as the first statutory MOT is not required until the third anniversary of registration in 2028. Consequently there is no test outcome to analyse and no trend of pass or fail results that could indicate whether the maintenance regime has been stable, deteriorating or improving. In the absence of any recorded advisories or failures, the responsibility falls to the prospective buyer to obtain a full service history from the seller and to arrange a pre‑purchase inspection that covers the items normally highlighted by an MOT. Mileage has not been supplied, so an objective comparison with the vehicle’s age cannot be made. A typical electric saloon of this class accumulates between 8 000 and 12 000 miles per annum, which would place a 2025 build at roughly 16 000–24 000 miles by mid‑2026 if used at average rates. Should the odometer read significantly lower, it may indicate limited usage and the attendant risks of component ageing without wear, such as tyre sidewall perishing, brake disc corrosion and battery electrolyte degradation. Conversely, an unusually high reading for the age would suggest intensive use, potentially accelerating wear on the suspension bushings, tyre tread, and the high‑voltage battery cooling system, and would merit a more thorough evaluation of those systems. For a vehicle with no MOT record and an unknown mileage figure, the buyer should focus on age‑related inspections. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or bulging, as rubber can deteriorate after four years regardless of mileage, and verify that tread depth is even across all four wheels. Inspect the wheel arches, under‑body and chassis for any signs of corrosion, particularly in the battery pack mounting points and the rear suspension brackets, which can be vulnerable when the car has been stored for long periods. Check the 12 V auxiliary battery for terminal corrosion and confirm that it holds a healthy charge; a weak 12 V system can affect electronic stability controls and door lock operation. Review the high‑voltage battery health by requesting a recent state‑of‑charge and degradation report from a Hyundai dealer, ensuring that the cooling circuit is free of leaks and that the coolant is at the correct level and colour, as thermal management is critical to preserving capacity. During a test drive, listen for any clunking or squeaking from the front and rear suspension, which could indicate worn bushings, ball joints or deteriorated coil springs. Observe the steering for any play or uneven pull, and feel the brakes for any pulsation, excessive pedal travel or noise that would suggest warped discs, contaminated pads or seized calipers – issues that can develop even on low‑mileage EVs when the regenerative braking system is seldom used. Finally, monitor the cabin for any warning lights related to the battery management system, and verify that the charging port latch operates smoothly without binding, as a faulty latch can lead to water ingress and long‑term electrical problems. A comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection covering these points will give a realistic picture of the car’s roadworthiness despite the lack of MOT data.
