2017 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · RO67 TYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumables. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 170,688 miles passed, it introduced advisories for both nearside and offside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates a lack of proactive tyre replacement in recent months compared to the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024. The mileage profile is significantly high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 19,000 miles per annum. There is a notable surge in usage between September 2022 (62,891 miles) and September 2024 (135,186 miles), where the car covered over 72,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation continued with another 35,000 miles recorded by the 2025 test. Such high mileage accelerates the wear on heavy-duty drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking hardware. A buyer must specifically inspect the rear braking system, given the recurring issues noted in September 2022. The tester flagged binding and fluctuating brakes on both rear wheels, which caused an initial failure. While these issues were rectified to pass the subsequent tests, the high-mileage context increases the likelihood of caliper piston sticking or thinned discs. The edge wear on the front tyres also suggests a potential issue with wheel alignment or worn suspension components that require professional verification to prevent further premature degradation of new rubber.
