2020 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · GU20 CDO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history indicates a concerning maintenance trend that may require immediate attention. The most recent test on 2026-04-01 passed at 68,590 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and usage, suggesting the mechanical condition has remained stable over the last three years. However, the second most recent test on 2025-09-24 failed at 57,061 miles, revealing a significant gap in the record that requires clarification. The mileage accumulation is not uniformly high; rather, it is characterized by a rapid increase in the second half of the record. The 2025-09-24 test occurred at 57,061 miles, a drop from the 2025-03-25 test at 47,355 miles, indicating a period of accelerated wear between these two dates. This pattern suggests that the vehicle has experienced a sudden surge in mileage since late 2025, which may point to a lack of regular servicing or a change in driving habits that accelerated component failure. Given the specific faults recorded, the vehicle requires inspection for structural integrity and mechanical components. The 2026-04-01 test flagged nearside front tyres cracked or perishing, combined with rear inner tyres worn close to the limit, indicating that the suspension and braking systems have been subjected to stress well beyond their design limits. While the 2025-09-24 test also flagged rear inner tyres as cracked or perishing, this is likely a result of the rapid mileage increase in the previous month. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs, the binding calipers, and the brake discs for signs of rust, binding, or excessive play, as these components are the most likely candidates for failure given the history.
