2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Other · EF67 DZG

A pattern of intermittent component wear and braking system advisories defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, most recently evidenced by a pass on 26 June 2026 which noted a defective offside windscreen wiper blade. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record, the data shows a progression of concerns regarding consumables and mechanical linkages. Specifically, the transition from thin brake pads in 2023 to an advisory in December 2025 stating the parking brake efficiency only just met the required standard suggests a potential need for system adjustment or component replacement. The recorded mileage of 82,111 miles against an eight-year age profile indicates an average annual usage of approximately 10,264 miles. This represents a typical usage pattern for a modern vehicle, suggesting that mechanical wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres is consistent with standard road use rather than excessive high-speed motorway mileage or the potential degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation of mileage means that wear-and-tear items are likely to be at various stages of their service life. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system and front-end suspension components during a physical inspection and test drive. Given the recent advisory regarding parking brake efficiency, it is essential to test the handbrake's holding strength on an incline and check for any excessive travel in the pedal or lever. Additionally, the 2024 records highlighted deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust covers and tyre wear on the edges. On a test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces or turning the steering wheel, which could indicate play in the suspension linkages, and monitor for any pulling to one side that might suggest alignment issues or uneven tyre wear. Further inspection should be directed at the vehicle's exterior trim and lighting, following the previous advisories regarding a missing offside front wheel arch cover and an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. Although these are minor items, they reflect the specific areas where the vehicle has previously fallen short of full compliance. Ensuring that all lighting elements are functional and that the wheel arch assembly is complete and secure will be necessary to return the vehicle to a fully compliant state.
