2020 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DS20 LWC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in September 2025. Although it initially failed on that date, the issue was limited to a windscreen wiper that did not clear effectively, which is a minor consumable fault. The primary risk pattern identified in the history relates to the braking system. In September 2023, the car failed on both service brake and parking brake efficiency. However, the subsequent MOTs in 2024 and 2025 were passed without any recorded brake defects. This indicates that the condition trend is stable or improving, as the previous safety-critical failures appear to have been rectified. The recorded mileage of 42,587 miles is typical for a six-year-old vehicle. This suggests a consistent pattern of use, meaning the car has likely avoided the excessive wear associated with high-mileage vehicles while also avoiding the seals and battery degradation often found in cars that have stood for long periods. When inspecting the car in person, you should first verify the current condition and feel of the service and parking brakes to ensure the previous efficiency issues are fully resolved. You should also check the condition of the windscreen wipers and other rubber consumables.
