2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FP68 CYO

The Hyundai Ioniq demonstrates a strong roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on 2023-10-17 after rectifying brake faults, followed by completely fault-free passes on 2024-10-22 at 48,719 miles and 2025-10-23 at 56,053 miles. This progression points to an improving maintenance standard where previous mechanical oversights have been properly addressed by the keeper. The latest test sits just nine months behind the current date, confirming that the vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate and currently meets statutory roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation follows a remarkably consistent trajectory averaging roughly seven thousand miles per year across its eight-year life span. The odometer logged 24,909 miles by October 2021, 32,056 miles by October 2022, and 39,992 miles by October 2023, showing steady annual usage without any abnormal periods of intensive fleet deployment or extended static storage. This predictable cadence indicates balanced private or light commercial operation rather than high-stress multi-driver service. Inspection during a physical viewing should focus closely on the friction surfaces of the braking system, noting that the rear brake discs caused a test failure in October 2023 due to pitting and scoring alongside low service brake efficiency. Regenerative braking systems on electrified vehicles like this Ioniq often under-utilize physical friction brakes, leading to surface corrosion and disc degradation if the calipers seize or fail to clear surface moisture regularly. Buyers should also verify the tread depth and shoulder wear across all four tyres, recalling that the front tyres were previously flagged for edge wear during the October 2022 test at 32,056 miles to ensure wheel alignment remains properly set.
