2022 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · VN71 TYK

This vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 1st August 2025 at 14,642 miles, but it did so with four separate advisory notices and one minor defect related to a child seat. The core pattern in the test history is clear: all four tyres were flagged for being slightly damaged, cracked, or perishing. This suggests a consistent issue across the entire set of wheels, likely related to age or environmental degradation rather than a one-off impact. Given that the car is about four years old and covered very low annual mileage (approximately 3,660 miles per year), this tyre wear is noteworthy. Low mileage can sometimes mean the car has stood for extended periods, which can accelerate the perishing of rubber components like tyres, even if the tread depth is sufficient. Alternatively, it could simply be that the tyres are the original set and have reached the natural end of their serviceable life due to age. There is not enough MOT history to establish a clear trend of worsening or improving condition; we only have this single snapshot. The fact that the issues are flagged as advisories indicates they were not severe enough to cause a test failure at that time. However, tyre condition is a fundamental safety matter. The most important checks for a buyer should start with the tyres themselves.
