2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · MM67 NMA

This 2018 Hyundai Ioniq presents a generally serviceable but not pristine roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT in February 2026 at 90,269 miles resulted in a pass, yet the advisories point to a vehicle where routine consumable maintenance has slipped. The tester flagged front tyres worn close to the legal limit, rear brake pads wearing thin, and rear brake discs showing wear, pitting, or scoring. These issues are not failures, but they indicate a pattern of deferred attention to wear items. Compared to the clean passes in 2022 and 2023, the trend since 2024 has been one of mounting advisories rather than catastrophic failure, but the shift is clear: the car requires brake and tyre work soon. The mileage accumulation suggests consistent, everyday use. The recorded history shows a steady increase from 25,141 miles in February 2022 to 90,269 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 16,000 miles per year over that period. This is above the vehicle's full-life average of 11,284 miles per year, indicating heavier recent usage but no suspicious gaps or rapid spikes. The annual increments are logical, with no signs of clocking or long-term storage. The mileage profile itself is unremarkable for an eight-year-old car. For a prospective buyer, the recurring brake and tyre advisories demand a focused pre-purchase physical inspection. The rear brake discs have been noted as worn in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, and the pads are now thinning. This points to a braking system that needs evaluation and likely replacement, as continued use will accelerate disc scoring and pad wear. The front tyres were borderline in the last test, so check their current condition, including age and sidewall integrity. The 2025 advisories of a deteriorated front registration plate and windscreen damage are minor but should be confirmed as either resolved or cheap to rectify. No structural corrosion or suspension defects appear in the history, which is positive, but ensure the underbody is clean. Overall, this Hyundai Ioniq is not a risk case, but it needs circa £300 to £500 of brake and tyre work to bring it to a properly maintained state.
