2021 Hyundai Ioniq Electric · FV21 AFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred tyre replacement. While the most recent test on March 13, 2026 at 46,186 miles passed, the tester flagged front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with uneven wear on both edges. This follows a recurring pattern across multiple years, suggesting the owner tends to replace consumables only once they reach failure or critical advisory thresholds. The mileage progression is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 15,358 miles and the March 2025 test at 27,864 miles, the car covered 12,506 miles, followed by another 18,322 miles leading into the 2026 test. This indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and battery-related components. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment settings, as the recurring edge wear on the front tyres noted in both 2024 and 2026 often indicates a misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The 2025 advisory also highlighted cracking and perishing on the rear tyres, which suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for short periods despite the annual mileage. Beyond these recurring consumable issues, the record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, pointing to a stable mechanical foundation for the hybrid drivetrain.
