2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GP19 JXO

A functional wiper deficiency and recurring rear‑tyre surface wear dominate the MOT record; otherwise the car has passed all tests without recorded defects. The most recent inspection in May 2026 recorded a major failure for the windscreen wiper’s inability to clear the glass, while the same test also confirmed the vehicle passed overall. Earlier advisories in 2024 and 2025 highlighted slight damage and cracking on the nearside and off‑side rear tyres respectively, but no other faults have been noted across five recorded tests. With 31,622 mi logged over just over seven years, the annual average sits near 4,500 mi, well below the typical UK usage rate. The consistent yearly testing pattern shows no significant mileage spikes or gaps, suggesting the car has been driven lightly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Low mileage generally reduces cumulative wear on drivetrain and brake components, yet age‑related degradation of rubber items such as tyre sidewalls and wiper blades can still occur, which aligns with the tyre advisories and the wiper failure. Prospective buyers should verify the wiper assembly in detail. Inspect the rubber blade for hardening, cracking or uneven wear, and confirm that the motor actuates smoothly without hesitation. During a test drive, watch for residual streaks, incomplete clearing, or audible squeaking, and check that the wiper arm maintains proper contact across the full sweep of the windscreen. Any persistent clearing issues will likely require blade replacement and possibly a motor or linkage check. The rear‑tyre advisories merit a close visual and tactile examination. Measure tread depth on both rear wheels, looking for uneven wear patterns, sidewall cracks, or perishing that could indicate age‑related rubber loss. While driving, feel for vibrations, especially at higher speeds, and listen for thumping that may signal internal tyre damage. If tread depth approaches the legal minimum of 3 mm or visible cracking is present, replacement should be scheduled promptly; otherwise, regular pressure checks and rotation will help preserve remaining life. No other components were flagged, but a comprehensive pre‑purchase inspection of brakes, suspension bushes and steering geometry remains advisable to confirm overall roadworthiness.
