2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV Electric · MA74 EYM

As of the assessment date of 2 September 2026, the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV does not yet have any recorded MOT test history on the DVSA database, and therefore no current pass or fail outcome can be reported. Vehicles first registered from 2024 onwards do not legally require an MOT test until they reach three years of age, meaning this vehicle would only become eligible for its inaugural MOT from 2027 onwards. With no prior test results, advisories, or failure points documented, there is no official maintenance trend to evaluate. The absence of recorded defects is expected at this stage and should be interpreted as a lack of data rather than a confirmed reflection of mechanical condition. The recorded mileage for this vehicle is unknown, and there is insufficient data to calculate an annual usage rate or identify any significant gaps or periods of rapid accumulation. Given that the Ioniq 5 is a relatively new model registered in 2024, a typical annual mileage in the region of 6,000 to 12,000 miles would be considered average for a privately used EV, whereas substantially lower figures could indicate sporadic use or long periods of standing. Because no mileage readings are available to the DVSA at present, any prospective buyer should verify the current odometer reading against the service book and any available digital service records to establish whether the vehicle has been used regularly or has remained largely stationary, both of which carry distinct mechanical implications for an electric vehicle. For a prospective buyer inspecting this Ioniq 5, several age and usage-appropriate checks are advisable in lieu of MOT data. Tyres fitted at the factory or during early service intervals may now be approaching two to three years of age, and even with adequate tread depth, sidewall perishing and cracking from UV exposure and ozone degradation can occur, particularly on a vehicle that may have spent extended periods parked outdoors. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers auxiliary systems and control modules in EVs, is susceptible to failure from infrequent use and should be tested for state of charge and cranking capability. Brake discs and calipers on a low-usage EV are particularly prone to surface corrosion and binding, as regenerative braking reduces the application of the friction braking system, so the buyer should check for uneven disc surface condition, seized caliper slides, and any grinding or pulsation through the pedal on a test drive. Further inspection should include verification of high-voltage system health and charging functionality, including the ability to charge via both AC and DC connections without fault codes or interrupted sessions. Coolant systems for the battery pack and electric motors should be inspected for any signs of leakage, and the undertray should be examined for impact damage or signs of fluid loss. Because EVs have fewer consumable items than internal combustion vehicles, particular attention should be paid to the condition of suspension components such as coil springs, control arm bushes, and anti-roll bar links, which can deteriorate with age regardless of mileage. The buyer should also confirm the presence and accuracy of the manufacturer service history, as Hyundai's EV warranty terms require scheduled inspections, and any outstanding recalls or software updates from Hyundai UK should be checked and rectified prior to purchase.
