2019 Hyundai Ioniq First Edition HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SD69 UHF

The most recent MOT test on October 23, 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 78,055 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. Despite two consecutive failures in October 2023 and 2024—both at the same mileage (43,070 and 58,817)—the vehicle has since passed every test without issue, suggesting either a corrective intervention or a component replacement that resolved prior issues. The absence of recurring advisories or defects in the last two tests indicates the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical failures, though the repeated failures in 2023–2024 warrant scrutiny of components that might have been addressed. The recorded mileage of 78,055 miles over approximately seven years reflects a steady usage pattern of around 11,150 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the identical mileage at failure points (43,070 and 58,817) in October 2023 and 2024 suggests the vehicle was tested at the same intervals rather than at the 12-month or 12,000-mile thresholds. This consistency implies regular servicing or adherence to fixed test dates, though it does not clarify whether the failures were due to wear or a specific mechanical fault. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the braking system, particularly the rear calipers and pads, as the repeated failures in 2023–2024 may have been related to binding or uneven wear. The suspension components—including bushes, coil springs, and struts—should also be examined for wear or corrosion, as these are common failure points in HEV hybrids and often lead to MOT failures if they affect handling or ride quality. Additionally, the exhaust system and emissions controls should be checked for leaks or corrosion, as these are frequently cited in MOT failures for this model. Finally, the structural integrity of the wheel arches and sills should be assessed for rust, as hybrid vehicles are prone to corrosion in high-stress areas.
