2020 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · NO02 ADM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline regarding brake-related components. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 47,561 miles passed, the tester identified pitted and scored rear brake discs alongside a binding nearside rear wheel. This represents a regression from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the braking system is beginning to require mechanical attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There was a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 miles between February 2023 and early 2024, followed by a larger jump of 11,000 miles between early 2024 and early 2025. The car has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, though the increased usage recently likely contributed to the perishing of rubber components noted in the February 2025 test. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the braking assembly to determine if the binding nearside rear wheel is caused by a seized caliper piston or a collapsed hose. The 2025 advisory also highlighted significant tyre wear and uneven edges across all four wheels, which indicates potential alignment issues or neglected age-related rubber degradation. A physical inspection of the suspension bushes and sidewalls is necessary to ensure that the wear patterns noted in the past have not caused structural damage to the drivetrain components.
