2017 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO67 TNK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in September 2025 at 48,635 miles resulted in a failure due to poor parking brake efficiency and a perishing nearside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the initial failure indicates that the braking system required attention after the performance fell below the legal threshold. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 33,106 miles and September 2025 at 48,635 miles, the car covered 15,529 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it also often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components due to age, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted noted in the 2025 inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking assembly, as the 2023 record flagged a pitted offside rear brake disc and the 2025 failure highlighted the parking brake. The tester should verify that the parking brake mechanism is fully adjusted and that the discs are not excessively corroded. Additionally, given the low mileage and the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls for cracking is essential, as the rubber may outlife before the tread depth is exhausted.
