2020 Hyundai Ioniq Electric · DP70 KZJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 15 November 2025 at 14,999 miles resulted in an initial failure due to headlamp misalignment and perished rubber on all four tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately after these corrections, the failure suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once flagged by a tester rather than performing routine preventative inspections. The recorded mileage of 14,999 miles over six years is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per annum. This low usage pattern is evident in the progression from 8,558 miles in November 2023 to 12,453 miles in late November 2024. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it significantly increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based components and fluids, particularly when the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the November 2025 test specifically flagged perishing and cracking on both sides despite the low tread depth. The rubber likely lacks its structural integrity due to UV exposure and lack of movement rather than wear. The offside rear door handle trim noted in the November 2024 record should be checked for a proper replacement rather than a temporary repair. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for corrosion or seizing, as these are common issues on vehicles that are not driven frequently.
