2022 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · SC22 HDJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-04-20 with no recorded defects at 43,211 miles. This clean result follows two earlier passes in 2025, though the July 2025 test did note minor advisories. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no escalating or recurring mechanical failures—suggesting consistent upkeep and responsible ownership. Mileage accumulation shows a notable jump between November 2025 (27,026 miles) and April 2026 (43,211 miles)—a rise of over 16,000 miles in just five months. This equates to roughly 3,200 miles per month during that period, significantly above the previously observed annual average of around 10,800 miles. Such a spike may indicate a change in usage pattern, such as regular long-distance commuting or extended travel, which could accelerate wear on high-use components despite the absence of current MOT defects. Given the prior advisory about a worn, pitted, or scored rear brake disc in July 2025, a prospective buyer should closely inspect the condition of all brake discs and pads, especially at the rear axle, to ensure they haven’t deteriorated since the last test. The mention of a nail in the nearside rear tyre also warrants scrutiny of tyre condition and tread depth across all wheels, as well as checking for any signs of uneven wear that might hint at alignment or suspension issues. Although no structural or suspension faults have been logged, the sudden increase in mileage means components like bushings, shocks, and drivetrain mounts deserve careful evaluation for premature wear. Finally, while the TPMS warning light was noted in 2025, it wasn’t repeated in later tests—still, verifying the proper operation of the tyre pressure monitoring system is prudent. With no corrosion or major mechanical advisories in the record, the car appears mechanically sound on paper, but the recent high mileage underscores the importance of a thorough physical inspection before purchase.
