2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · KJ68 FUG

The 2019 Hyundai Ionq presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 14 August 2024 at 99,448 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is the most recent MOT entry available, dated just under two years before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the certificate expired on 13 August 2025 and the vehicle is currently without a valid MOT. The trajectory from the January 2022 failure through to the 2024 pass shows a clear resolution of the only defect category ever flagged, which was tyre tread depth. No mechanical, structural, or corrosion-related advisories or failures appear anywhere in the record. The mileage accumulation pattern is unusual and warrants scrutiny. Between the January 2022 tests at roughly 34,570 miles and the July 2022 pass at 40,455 miles, the car covered approximately 5,885 miles in six months, a moderate pace. However, from July 2022 to August 2024, the vehicle added 58,993 miles in just over two years, averaging nearly 29,500 miles per annum during that window. That is exceptionally high, nearly double the typical UK annual mileage, and suggests sustained motorway or fleet-style use over that period. The gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests is also notable, with no recorded MOT in 2023 at all, which may indicate the vehicle was off the road, exported, or simply not tested that year. A buyer should treat the clean 2024 pass as a positive baseline but not a guarantee of current condition, given the expired certificate and the extreme mileage accumulated since. The front tyres were the sole failure point in January 2022, with both nearside and offside tread depths falling below the 1.6mm legal minimum. That pattern suggests the previous owner deferred basic consumable replacement, and with nearly 60,000 miles added since, the current tyre condition, brake pad and disc wear, and suspension component integrity all demand a thorough in-person inspection. High-mileage electric vehicles like the Ionq place particular stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and regenerative braking systems, none of which have been flagged in testing but remain vulnerable to accelerated deterioration at this mileage. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on structural corrosion around subframes and mounting points, brake caliper operation, and the condition of the high-voltage battery cooling system, as these are the areas most likely to reveal deferred maintenance on a vehicle that has been driven hard and is now sitting without a current MOT.
