2016 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · SW66 CNZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-23 shows two conflicting outcomes for the same mileage (39,470 miles): one marked as PASSED and another as FAILED. The FAILED entry lists a windscreen washer issue (insufficient liquid) alongside the same rear brake disc and pad wear noted in earlier reports. The PASSED entry only mentions the rear brake disc and pad condition, suggesting potential inconsistency in the testing or recording process. This ambiguity requires further clarification before proceeding. Recurring issues involve rear brake components, with wear reported in 2025, 2023, and 2022. The 2025 FAILED MOT introduced a new defect (windscreen washer), while other areas like tyres and wipers had minor issues in 2023. No major safety risks were recorded in 2024 or 2022, indicating periods of stable performance. However, the persistence of brake wear and the 2025 washer problem suggests gradual deterioration in non-structural components. The vehicle’s low mileage (3,947 miles annually) implies lighter use or potential periods of inactivity, which can lead to uneven wear on brakes and fluid systems. While low mileage often correlates with less mechanical stress, it may also mean parts like brake discs and pads remain underused, potentially masking deeper issues.
