2021 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · SA71 UCC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on on August 18, 2025, 79,486 miles. While the car met the legal requirements, the record indicates a trend of reactive maintenance regarding consumable components. The tester flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit and specifically noted uneven edge wear, suggesting a lack of proactive tyre management or a neglected wheel alignment issue. At nearly 80,000 miles over five years, this Ioniq averages approximately 16,000 miles per annum. This figure exceeds the UK annual average for a passenger vehicle and places significant demand on the suspension, braking system, and drivetrain. The most recent test occurred less than ten months ago, but the high mileage accumulation suggests that mechanical components will reach their end-of-life cycles much faster than a lower-mileage example. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and steering. The uneven tyre wear recorded in the August 2025 test often points to worn suspension bushes, damaged control arms, or misalignment. Given the high mileage, the brake discs and pads should be checked for excessive scoring or thinning, and a test drive performed to ensure the vehicle does not pull to one side, which would confirm the underlying issues indicated by the MOT advisories.
