2022 Hyundai Ioniq Electricity · LO71 HXR

The Hyundai IONIQ presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean pass on 7 January 2026 at 28,589 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, advisories, or failures during this most recent inspection, and the same outcome was achieved exactly one year prior on 8 January 2025 at 19,851 miles. Two consecutive flawless MOT certificates indicate that the vehicle has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard, with no emerging or recurring faults detected by the DVSA testing regime. The mileage accumulation is entirely typical for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,147 miles per year. The recorded jump of 8,738 miles between the January 2025 test and the January 2026 test aligns precisely with this annual average, suggesting steady, predictable daily use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage surges. There are no anomalous gaps or unexplained odometer discrepancies in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The 2022 IONIQ is a hybrid or electric platform, meaning the high-voltage battery condition, regenerative braking feel, and charging port integrity deserve close attention beyond what the MOT covers. Check the underside for any signs of corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake line brackets, as even well-maintained vehicles can develop surface rust around the four-year mark. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing and verify even tread wear across all four corners, since uneven wear on the driven axle could hint at neglected alignment or worn suspension bushes not yet severe enough to trigger a tester advisory. Test the braking system under varied conditions. A clean MOT pass confirms adequate braking effort at the time of inspection, but a road test will reveal whether the brake discs are free from lipping, the pedal feels firm without sponginess, and the handbrake holds securely on a gradient. Finally, examine the exhaust system if the vehicle is a hybrid petrol variant, paying attention to the condition of the catalytic converter and any exhaust mounting rubbers, as these components degrade over time and can fail between test intervals.
