2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · DY19 WDJ

This Hyundai Ionq presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 29 December 2025 at 209,196 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the record reveals a recurring pattern of front tyre wear and a recent advisory for thin rear brake pads. The tester flagged the rear brake pads wearing thin at the December 2025 test, indicating that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, a brake service is imminent. No structural or serious mechanical failures have been recorded across the five entries, suggesting the core mechanicals have been sound. The mileage data reveals a notable gap in the record between January 2024 and December 2024. The vehicle recorded 64,728 miles on 3 January 2024 and then jumped to 129,335 miles by 5 December 2024, an accumulation of approximately 64,607 miles in just eleven months. This equates to roughly 5,873 miles per month, which is exceptionally high and suggests intensive use, likely from long-distance commuting or motorway driving. Such high annualised mileage places accelerated stress on consumable components, particularly tyres, brake friction components, and suspension bushes, despite the clean pass recorded in December 2024. Buyers should prioritise a close inspection of the braking system. The rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin at the most recent test at 209,196 miles, meaning replacement is likely due now or very shortly. Examine the rear brake discs for scoring and check the front pad thickness given the vehicle's high mileage. The front tyres have been a recurring concern, flagged for wear close to the legal limit in both November 2023 and March 2023, with the nearside front worn to 2.4mm and 2mm respectively. This uneven wear pattern suggests possible tracking issues or suspension geometry wear, so a four-wheel alignment check is advisable. Inspect the front suspension bushes and ball joints for play, as high-mileage vehicles frequently develop compliance wear in these areas. A thorough underbody inspection for corrosion is warranted, particularly on the subframes, suspension mounting points, and around the exhaust system. The nail found in the offside rear tyre in March 2023 was a puncture event rather than a recurring fault, but check the tyre age and condition across all four corners given the mileage. The exhaust emissions have passed consistently, which is a positive indicator of engine health. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but demands immediate attention to the rear brake pads and a careful assessment of front-end wear components before purchase.
