2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · SD18 WFX

The 2018 Hyundai Ioniq passed its most recent MOT on 19 November 2025 at 69,182 miles with a single advisory on the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern of recurring tyre wear advisories, particularly on the front axles, and persistent rear brake wear issues. The vehicle has shown a generally stable maintenance trend, with no new serious defects emerging in the latest test. However, the repeated advisories on tyres and rear brakes suggest a consistent pattern of wear that may reflect either under-maintained components or alignment issues. The vehicle has accumulated approximately 69,182 miles over eight years, averaging around 8,648 miles per year. This is within a typical range for its age. Mileage progression between tests has been relatively even, with a 9,943-mile increase between November 2024 and November 2025, and a 10,063-mile increase between 2023 and 2024. No significant gaps or spikes in usage suggest prolonged inactivity or sudden heavy use. The MOT record is complete from 2021 onwards, with no missing tests, indicating a regular maintenance schedule. Buyers should pay particular attention to the front and rear tyres, focusing on wear patterns that may indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. The repeated advisories on both front tyres in 2023 and the offside rear in 2024 point to uneven wear that may not be resolved by simple tyre rotation. The rear brake discs and pads have shown wear in three consecutive tests since 2022. While not failed, these components are approaching critical wear and may require replacement soon. Inspectors should check for brake binding, uneven pad contact, or disc warping. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or suspension wear in the MOT history, but a physical inspection should still include suspension bushes, ball joints, and subframe mounts, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
