2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · SD18 WFO

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2026-05-26, with no defects recorded at 92,516 miles. The maintenance trend is stable — all five consecutive MOTs have passed without issue, indicating consistent upkeep and no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures over the past four years suggests the owner has addressed minor wear items promptly, keeping the car within safe operating parameters. Mileage progression aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 11,564 miles annually — a typical rate for a used car of this vintage. The jump from 75,923 miles in April 2023 to 89,131 miles in May 2025 reflects a steady 13,208-mile increase over two years, which is neither excessive nor unusually low. No significant gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, reinforcing the impression of regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or heavy-duty driving. While no defects were flagged in any test, buyers should still inspect suspension components closely — particularly rear bushes and coil springs — as these are common wear points on Hyundais of this age and may show fatigue even without triggering MOT failures. Brake systems should be checked for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, especially since rear brake issues have historically surfaced in similar models. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for corrosion, as rust can develop silently in damp climates even when no structural defects appear on test. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition should also be verified, as these are often the first consumables to degrade and may not have been replaced during previous MOTs.
