2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SA68 AEO

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection on 26 December 2025 at 40,587 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met all DVSA standards across consecutive years, suggesting the previous owners maintained the car to a high professional standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,073 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 7,759 miles and January 2025 at 29,189 miles, the car covered roughly 21,000 miles, showing a consistent but light usage pattern. The recent jump of 11,398 miles between the last two tests indicates a recent increase in annual usage. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it rarely leads to significant mechanical fatigue compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT record shows no advisories for suspension bushes, brake corrosion, or structural rust, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of rubber components that degrade over time regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles can suffer from dry-rot or perished seals if they sit stationary for extended periods. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and check the tyres for sidewall cracking despite having deep tread. Overall, the data suggests a well-cared-for vehicle that has not been subjected to heavy stress or neglect.
