2021 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FY71 ADV

The 2021 Hyundai Ioniq demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 at 137,885 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance across three consecutive tests, including the 2024-11-28 and 2024-03-20 assessments, with no advisories or failures. This consistent performance suggests effective maintenance practices by previous owners, though the absence of recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear. The lack of recurring faults indicates the vehicle has not exhibited critical mechanical or structural degradation over the past two years. The mileage of 137,885 miles, accumulated over five years, equates to an average of 27,577 miles annually—a notably high rate for a 2021 model. The most significant jump occurred between 2024-03-20 (62,917 miles) and 2024-11-28 (97,476 miles), reflecting 34,559 miles in eight months, or approximately 4,320 miles monthly. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components, though no such issues were flagged. The final test in 2025-11-11 suggests the vehicle has not yet reached a critical threshold for major mechanical failure, but high mileage remains a factor to monitor. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which may show wear from extended use. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Structural integrity is not indicated as compromised, but corrosion in underbody areas—common in older vehicles—warrants scrutiny. The absence of advisories in the MOT record is positive, but the vehicle’s high mileage necessitates a thorough mechanical examination to confirm continued reliability.
