2016 Hyundai Ioniq Electricity · DS66 DXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 84,873 miles passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the limit, the history reveals a significant period of neglect seen in late 2024 where multiple brake and tyre defects were identified. These issues were addressed immediately to pass the subsequent test, suggesting the owner performs necessary repairs when compelled by an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 16,392 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 10,486 miles recorded between November 2024 and October 2025. This regular interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which can often lead to seized components or internal corrosion. However, the accumulation of miles over the decade means the vehicle is experiencing expected wear on rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system, as the October 2024 failure flagged a binding nearside rear caliper, pitted discs, and thin pads on both rear sides. Although these were replaced, the buyer must verify that the caliper is no longer sticking and that the new components are not wearingly. The recurring mention of uneven tyre wear in both the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional attention to prevent premature replacement of future tyres.
