2021 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · OV71 ABU

The Hyundai Ioniq presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 46,619 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across all three available MOT entries. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the official history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope over the observed period. Mileage data shows an unusual accumulation pattern for a 2021 registered car. The October 2024 test at 29,101 miles and the May 2025 test at 29,862 miles suggest the vehicle covered only 761 miles across roughly seven months, implying a period of limited use. A sharp rise then occurred between May 2025 and May 2026, with 16,757 miles added in twelve months, lifting the total to 46,619. Against a typical annual average near 9,300 miles, the early low use followed by heavier recent driving points to a change in ownership or usage rather than steady private commuting. The absence of recorded defects means no recurring suspension, braking, or structural corrosion issues require flagging from the MOT data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition, as these items fall outside pass-fail thresholds until worn beyond limits. Given the low early mileage then rapid accumulation, check for drivetrain and tyre wear consistent with the late high-use phase. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the car to test standard with no skipped MOTs or deferred repairs visible in the record. The clean history supports a low-risk purchase, though the mileage gap warrants verification of service intervals during the standing period.
