2022 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DS22 AOC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a successful MOT test exactly one year ago on 25 June 2025 at 32,378 miles. The tester initially rejected the unit earlier that same day due to misaligned front headlamps. The record specifies the nearside beam aimed too far right and the offside beam set too high. These adjustments resolved before the subsequent pass, leaving the official record completely clear of any main or dangerous defects. The absence of recurring mechanical failures indicates a consistent maintenance approach from previous keepers, with electrical alignment falling well within routine servicing parameters rather than indicating underlying chassis or wiring degradation. Annual mileage sits at approximately 8,094 miles per year across the four year ownership window, aligning closely with average commuter usage. The single recorded test date provides a narrow historical snapshot, yet the clean pass at 32,378 miles suggests minimal exposure to heavy load carrying or aggressive driving conditions. Lower kilometre accumulation typically preserves suspension bushings, coil spring fatigue limits, and brake disc surface integrity. Buyers should verify continuous service intervals between now and the June 2025 test to confirm fluid changes and filter replacements kept pace with this moderate usage pattern. Physical inspection should prioritise verifying the corrected headlamp aiming marks against manufacturer specifications, as improper beam spread affects night time visibility without triggering further MOT failures. Examine the front suspension uprights and track rod ends for play, checking that rubber gaiters remain intact despite the low annual distance. Inspect the brake disc faces for even wear and confirm caliper pistons retract smoothly without sticking. Given the electric powertrain layout, lift the vehicle to assess the underbody shielding for stone chips, check the high voltage cable routing for abrasion, and monitor the thermal management hoses for early signs of coolant leakage. A thorough visual and tactile review will confirm whether the documented cleanliness translates to genuine mechanical soundness.
