2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV Electric · EN22 BBO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 July 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. Given the vehicle's age, this represents a clean initial entry into the official testing record, suggesting that the car has been maintained to a standard that meets current DVSA safety and emissions requirements. The absence of any noted failures indicates a stable mechanical condition at the time of testing, though the lack of a longer history means there is no established trend of recurring faults to analyze. The recorded mileage of 114,438 miles is exceptionally high for a vehicle of this vintage, averaging approximately 28,610 miles per year. Such rapid accumulation typically suggests intensive long-distance or commercial usage. While high-speed motorway miles are generally less taxing on the drivetrain than urban stop-start cycles, the sheer volume of distance covered accelerates the wear of all chassis and suspension components. A buyer should anticipate that the vehicle is significantly further along its lifecycle than a typical example of this age. Despite the clean MOT, the high mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of all wear-and-tear items. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the significant weight of the battery pack combined with high mileage often leads to premature degradation. During a test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces and check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate misalignment or worn suspension components. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, and verify that the remaining tread depth is consistent across all four corners. For an electric vehicle of this mileage, it is critical to verify the service history regarding calendar-based maintenance. Ensure that the brake fluid has been replaced at the manufacturer's recommended intervals to prevent moisture contamination. While regenerative braking reduces wear on the brake pads, the lack of frequent friction braking can lead to brake disc corrosion or binding calipers; the buyer should check for any shuddering under braking or a heavy pedal feel. Finally, confirm the health of the 12V auxiliary battery and check the cabin and air filters, as these are often overlooked in high-mileage EV ownership.
