2022 Hyundai Ioniq Electric · LM22 LVS

The Hyundai Ioniq presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 13 May 2026 at 34,812 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a significant step forward from the previous test, indicating that the necessary remedial work has been carried out and the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. The mileage accumulation sits at roughly 8,703 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing. The interval between the May 2025 test at 24,920 miles and the May 2026 test at 34,812 miles shows an increase of 9,892 miles over twelve months. This steady accumulation points to predictable wear on consumable components, yet the clean bill of health in the most recent inspection implies those components have been managed effectively. The May 2025 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. Edge wear on the front tyres typically indicates a tracking or wheel alignment issue rather than simple neglect, as the rubber degrades unevenly across the tread face. The subsequent clean pass in 2026 suggests the tyres were replaced, but a prospective buyer should still inspect the current tyre condition and request evidence of a four-wheel alignment check. Uneven wear returning quickly would point to worn suspension bushes or tracking geometry that was never properly corrected. Given the Ioniq’s electric powertrain, also listen for any drivetrain whine or regenerative braking inconsistency during a test drive, as these are not always captured under standard MOT criteria.
