Our Verdict
Overall this 2021 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid p
When viewing the car, confirm that the off‑side front tyre has been replaced or is within safe tread depth, as the last MOT highlighted wear close to the legal limit. Request any recent tyre replacement receipts or evidence of corrective action. Verify that the hybrid battery and related electronics have no fault codes, even though the MOT does not cover these systems.
Ask for a full service history, particularly any records of brake servicing, since service brake failures are a top issue for the Ioniq model. Even though the MOTs show no brake failures, a recent brake pad or disc replacement would add confidence. Negotiate on the price if the tyre condition has not been addressed, using the advisory as a bargaining point.
Consider the vehicle's usage profile; the relatively low mileage suggests less wear, but also check for any signs of long periods of inactivity, which can affect hybrid components. A professional pre‑purchase inspection focusing on the hybrid system, suspension, and tyre condition will help mitigate any hidden risks.
The 2021 Ioniq hybrid typically achieves around 55‑60 mpg (WLTP), making fuel costs modest for UK drivers; at current fuel prices, annual fuel expenditure for average mileage would be roughly £500‑£600. Road tax for a Euro 6 hybrid in the 0‑CO2 band is currently £0, reducing running costs further.
Insurance groups for the Ioniq sit in the mid‑range (usually around group 15‑18), leading to average premiums of £600‑£800 per year for a driver with a clean record. Routine maintenance for hybrids is generally comparable to conventional cars, with typical annual servicing costs of £150‑£250. Adding fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, the estimated annual running cost falls in the £800‑£1,000 range.
Inspect the off‑side front tyre for tread depth and any uneven wear, as the 2024 MOT recorded it as "worn close to legal limit". Check the condition of the other three tyres for consistency, and verify that the tyre pressure sensors (if fitted) are functioning.
Examine the brake system, especially the service brakes, because brake failures are a common MOT issue for the Ioniq model. Look for any uneven pad wear, squeaking, or reduced braking performance. If possible, obtain recent brake pad thickness measurements.
Review the headlamp condition and alignment; headlamp failures also rank among the top model failures. Ensure both low‑beam and high‑beam units illuminate correctly and are not dim or cracked. Additionally, request a diagnostic scan of the hybrid battery and electric motor to confirm no stored fault codes.
The Ioniq has logged 47,424 miles over just under five years, which is below the model's average annual mileage of 13,154 miles. Its MOT history shows three consecutive passes, with only a tyre wear advisory noted in September 2024. The vehicle benefits from a hybrid powertrain and Euro 6 compliance, offering lower emissions. While the MOT pass rate for the model stands at 89.7%, this specific car has avoided the most common failures such as service brake and headlamp issues.
Across 40,711 Ioniq examples, the average MOT pass rate is 89.7%, indicating generally reliable performance, though tyre and brake issues are the most frequent failures.
