2021 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV Electricity · FY71 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-16 at 81,795 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. Subsequent tests in 2025-05-23 (59,224 miles) and 2024-08-17 (58,123 miles) also showed no issues. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural faults identified. However, the absence of a test since October 2025—over nine months prior to the current date—raises concerns about the vehicle’s current roadworthiness, as MOTs are required annually. The mileage of 81,795 miles, accumulated over five years, equates to an average of 16,359 miles per year, which is above the typical range for this age. A significant jump of 22,571 miles occurred between the 2025-05-23 test (59,224 miles) and the 2025-10-16 test (81,795 miles), spanning just five months. This rapid accumulation suggests heavy usage, potentially accelerating wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. The sparse MOT history, with no advisories or failures, indicates no immediate mechanical risks but does not confirm the vehicle’s current condition. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can degrade under high-mileage use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as rapid mileage increases may exacerbate these issues. Additionally, the vehicle’s structural integrity and exhaust emissions should be verified, as these are not covered by the provided MOT records. The lack of a recent MOT means the buyer must independently confirm the vehicle’s compliance and assess any potential hidden wear from the high mileage.
