2022 Hyundai Ioniq Electric · LM22 LVH

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status as evidenced by its most recent MOT pass on 16 May 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car transitioned from a clean sheet in 2025 to a single minor advisory in the latest inspection. The tester flagged slight cracking or perishing on both rear tyres, which is a common age-related de-lam issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural defect. The vehicle has accumulated mileage at a high rate for its age, averaging 14,500 miles per year. Between the May 2025 test at 39,950 miles and the May 2026 test at 57,904 miles, the car covered 17,954 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent heavy use, likely motorway driving, which typically places less strain on suspension components and brake systems compared to low-mileage city-driven vehicles. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear tyres to determine if the reported cracking indicates deep structural degradation requiring immediate replacement to prevent blowout. Given the high annual mileage profile, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary to ensure the high-frequency use has not accelerated wear. Additionally, the brake pads and discs should be measured for thickness, as the mileage suggests these consumables may be nearing the end of their primary life cycle.
