2021 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · OV71 FFA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 August 2026 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history from 2024 and 2025, the record is exceptionally clean, showing a consistent pattern of passes without a single advisory noted. This indicates a very stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in good mechanical order, with no evidence of creeping deterioration or recurring faults identified during official inspections. With 60,449 miles recorded over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 12,090 miles per year. This is considered high usage for a vehicle of this age. While high mileage generally implies accelerated wear on consumables, suspension components, and the drivetrain, the absence of MOT failures suggests that this wear has been managed through a proactive maintenance regime. However, the buyer should be mindful that the vehicle is now entering a mileage bracket where major wear-and-tear items are more likely to require attention. Since the MOT history is devoid of defects, the buyer should focus on a physical inspection of high-wear components. It is essential to examine the tyre treads and sidewalls for uneven wear, which could point to worn suspension bushes or wheel misalignment. During the test drive, listen for any clunks or knocks from the suspension and ensure the steering feels precise without excessive play. The brake discs should be checked for significant lip wear or scoring, and the buyer should feel for any shuddering under braking, as the higher mileage increases the likelihood of disc thinning or binding calipers. Furthermore, the buyer must verify the service book to ensure that all mileage-based fluid changes and filter replacements have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks and check the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, which can degrade over time regardless of the hybrid system's status. Finally, a close inspection of the windscreen wipers and all exterior lighting is advised to ensure the vehicle remains in the peak condition suggested by its clean MOT record.
