2016 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RF66 NPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 19 June 2025. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair following a significant failure just one day prior. The June 2025 test identified excessive wear on both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, along with a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. While these faults were rectified immediately to secure a pass, the failure indicates that suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life under load. The mileage profile is exceptionally high, recording 223,947 miles over approximately ten years. This averages to over 22,000 miles per annum, with a particularly surge in usage noted between January 2024 at 159,876 miles and June 2025 at 223,947 miles, covering 64,000 miles in just seventeen months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway or commercial use, which typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking systems compared to average-use vehicles. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, given the recorded failure of the anti-roll bar linkages. You should check for play in the ball joints, tie rod ends, and bushings, as these components often fail sequentially at high mileage. The high mileage also necessitates a check of the brake discs and calipers for thinning or seizing, as well as an inspection of the exhaust system. Ensure the tyre pressure monitoring system is now fully functional, as this was a specific point of failure in the most recent test.
