2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV Electricity · OV22 KXX

The latest MOT test conducted on 3 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test in May 2025, establishing a stable and positive maintenance trend for the vehicle. The absence of any recorded failures or even minor advisories indicates that the vehicle's primary safety systems, lighting, and structural integrity have been consistently maintained to a high standard during its recent inspection history. The recorded mileage of 14,911 miles for a four-year-old vehicle represents a very low annual usage rate of approximately 3,728 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on components such as the suspension, steering, and braking systems, it also implies that the vehicle may have experienced long periods of inactivity. In an electric vehicle, while the lack of internal combustion engine components reduces traditional wear, low usage can present different challenges related to the preservation of consumables and electrical systems. Because the MOT history is clean and the mileage is low, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-induced failure. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing, such as sidewall cracking or surface crazing, which can occur due to the age of the rubber even if the tread depth is substantial. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, a common symptom when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to allow the pads to effectively clear oxidation from the rotors. During the test drive, listen for any unusual clunks or knocks from the suspension bushes or coil springs, which can sometimes stiffen or degrade when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance intervals have been respected, particularly regarding brake fluid replacement and cabin filter changes, as these are often scheduled by calendar rather than mileage. It is also prudent to check the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as low-usage vehicles are more susceptible to discharge issues. Finally, ensure that the charging port and all associated connections are free from debris or signs of environmental corrosion to guarantee reliable charging performance.
