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

Recent testing history reveals a sudden shift from a clean record to specific electronic and tyre-related concerns. While the vehicle achieved a pass on 10 February 2026, this followed a failure a day prior due to an inoperative or malfunctioning engine management light and incorrect headlamp aim. The presence of these faults, alongside a persistent advisory regarding tyre stepping on the rear axle, suggests a transition from a fault-free state to one requiring closer attention to electronic health and wheel alignment. With 32,703 miles recorded over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged around 8,176 miles annually. This represents a typical usage profile for this model, indicating consistent road use without the risks associated with prolonged standing or excessive wear from high-mileage commuting. Mechanically, this level of accumulation suggests that primary drivetrain components should remain in good condition, though it coincides with the period where initial tyre sets often begin to show wear patterns. Attention should be directed toward the rear tyres, as the recorded stepping on the inner tread edges of both the nearside and offside rear tyres typically points to incorrect rear-wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any instability at motorway speeds or a tendency for the vehicle to wander, which would confirm a tracking issue. A physical inspection of the inner tyre walls is necessary to determine if the stepping has progressed to the point of requiring immediate replacement. The recent failure regarding the engine management light and the illuminated TPMS lamp necessitates a verification of the vehicle's electronic diagnostics. Ensure that no warning lights are currently active on the dashboard and request confirmation that the engine MIL malfunction was permanently resolved rather than temporarily cleared. Additionally, verify the correct operation of the headlamp beam pattern to ensure the previous aim correction was performed accurately and that the lighting system is functioning within legal parameters.
