2019 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MJ19 FRL

The vehicle achieved a pass on 4 November 2025 at 125,310 miles, but the test retained an advisory on the nearside registration plate lamp. The preceding failure on 3 November 2025 highlighted a binding rear service brake and a compromised anti‑roll bar dust cover, echoing earlier brake imbalances and disc wear recorded in March 2022. The pattern of intermittent brake problems and the persistence of suspension contamination indicate a deteriorating trend rather than a stable condition. Mileage progression shows a steep increase: from 19,662 miles in March 2022 to 55,093 miles by November 2023 (≈35,400 miles in ten months), then to 86,649 miles in November 2024 (+31,500 miles) and finally to 125,307 miles in November 2025 (+38,600 miles). This averages roughly 38,000 miles per year, well above the typical usage for a 2019 model. The data gaps between 2022 and 2023 are minimal, but the rapid annual mileage suggests higher wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should inspect the rear service brake for binding or uneven operation, verify that the anti‑roll bar ball joint dust cover seals correctly, and test the registration plate lamp circuit. Tyre condition demands attention; both rear tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit in 2024. Brake discs and pads should be examined for significant wear, and suspension bushes checked for corrosion or excessive play. A visual check for rust on the chassis and exhaust emissions will also inform the overall mechanical health. Overall, the vehicle remains roadworthy but the recurring brake and suspension issues, combined with high mileage, indicate that a thorough pre‑purchase inspection is essential. The unresolved lamp advisory is a minor electrical fault, yet the mechanical wear patterns suggest that maintenance has been reactive rather than preventative. Prospective owners should budget for brake refurbishment, suspension component renewal and tyre replacement to restore the car to a reliable state.
