2016 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · LC66 HTG

This 2016 Hyundai Ioniq has just under 64,000 miles on the clock—well below the typical 60,000 to 80,000 miles you'd expect for a ten-year-old car. That lower mileage is a positive signal and suggests lighter use or periods when the vehicle was not driven regularly. However, the most recent MOT from late October 2025 reveals a clear pattern of tyre wear that demands immediate attention. Both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear noted on each. Both rear tyres showed signs of cracking, perishing, and sidewall distortion. These are not minor advisories. Tyre condition is a critical safety issue, and the fact that all four tyres are exhibiting wear or damage at the same time suggests either long storage without rotation, aggressive driving or cornering, or a suspension geometry problem pushing the rubber hard against the road surface. Looking back at the history, rear tyre damage appeared also in the October 2023 MOT, which means this is not a new problem. The vehicle passed that inspection despite the damage, but the issue has persisted. This points to an underlying mechanical cause rather than simple age or use.
