2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SH68 ABK

The Hyundai Ioniq presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 5 November 2025 at 146,889 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with every annual examination either passing or failing on administrative grounds rather than mechanical fault. The lone failure on 5 November 2025 at 146,886 miles carried no defects, indicating a documentation or process rejection rather than a safety concern. Mileage accumulation on this 2018 hatchback runs high for its age. The record shows 35,968 miles at the November 2022 test, climbing to 56,169 by October 2023, then jumping sharply to 101,417 at the November 2024 test. A further 45,472 miles were added before the November 2025 examination at 146,889. That equates to roughly 18,361 miles per year, with the bulk concentrated in the final two years of the timeline. The early life saw lighter use; the later period reflects heavy commuting or fleet-style operation. No advisories or defects appear in any test entry, so the DVSA data alone gives no flag on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for rust and check the front suspension for worn bushes given the high late-life mileage. The rear brake calipers warrant a strip check for binding after sustained motorway use. Given the clean sheet across five tests, previous owners appear to have kept the car to minimum statutory standard with no deferred consumables noted. The absence of recorded faults does not certify component health at 146,889 miles. Independent verification of tyre condition, exhaust emissions under load, and drivetrain noise remains prudent before purchase.
