2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · KJ68 FUU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 with 176,754 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement following a significant failure in December 2025. While the December 2025 test revealed multiple critical failures regarding lighting, braking, and wheel components, the subsequent pass just two months later and another clean test in 2026 indicate that the owner addressed these immediate faults to bring the car back to legal standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging over 25,000 miles per year. Data shows a massive surge in usage between the December 2024 test at 130,016 miles and the December 2025 failure at 171,717 miles, representing 41,700 miles driven in a single year. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance motorway use, which typically accelerates the wear of mechanical components but often avoids the stresses associated with short-trip city driving. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the history highlights recurring issues with worn brake discs and thin pads. The 2025 failure specifically flagged an offside front wheel bearing with excessive play, which is a mechanical wear item that requires monitoring for future noise or further degradation. Additionally, the repeated reports of tyres wearing on the edges in 2023 and 2025 suggest potential persistent alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that should be verified to ensure the vehicle is not prematurely consuming new tyres.
