2022 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · DS71 HXY

The Hyundai Ionq presents a clean mechanical record with no defects recorded across both MOT tests. The most recent examination on 29 December 2025 at 86,465 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle at the point of testing. The absence of any flagged items across both entries suggests consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical concerns at the recorded mileages. The vehicle has accumulated 86,465 miles over approximately four years, averaging around 21,616 miles per year. This is notably high for its age. The mileage progression between tests shows 22,492 miles added in the eleven and a half months between 14 January 2025 at 63,973 miles and 29 December 2025 at 86,465 miles, confirming sustained high annual usage. Only two MOT records exist for this vehicle, both clean, which limits the depth of historical trend analysis but shows no deterioration between them. High annual mileage places accelerated stress on consumable and structural components. Buyers should inspect the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and drop links for play or deterioration, as these wear faster under sustained daily use. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and uneven wear, particularly at the rear where binding calipers are common on high-mileage EVs and hybrids. Tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners deserve close attention given the mileage rate. The underbody and sills should be examined for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and drain holes, as high-mileage vehicles exposed to road salt accumulate structural rust faster. The exhaust system on this model should be checked for leaks or deterioration, and the high-voltage battery housing inspected for impact damage or water ingress. A test drive should assess regenerative braking function and any unusual drivetrain noise consistent with high-mileage electric motor or reduction gear wear.
