2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DP67 VDR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on September 3, 2025 at 31,815 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but inconsistent, as the vehicle suffered two consecutive failures on the same day in February and September 2025. The tester recorded no specific defects for these failures, which suggests the issues were likely related to minor non-conformities or administrative errors that were rectified immediately, rather than deep mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. A significant gap exists between the January 2024 test at 27,250 miles and the February 2025 test at 31,016 miles, during which the car covered 3,766 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake system corrosion. A buyer should specifically investigate why the tester flagged the vehicle for failure twice in 2025 without specific defects being listed in the digital record. This often points to minor items such as blown bulbs, wiper blades, or slight fluid leaks that were corrected on the spot. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should focus on brake caliper seizing due to disuse and cracking in suspension bushes, as these components often suffer more from age and stagnation than from high-mileage wear.
