2018 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · VO68 SLZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean recent MOT history. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 138,996 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a period of consistent passes over the previous three years. While a failure occurred in late January 2023, the immediate retest pass suggests that any identified issues were promptly rectified and the vehicle has since been maintained to a passing standard. The mileage profile indicates high usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 17,374 miles per annum. Data shows a significant acceleration in mileage between January 2023 and January 2024, where the car covered 33,345 miles in a single year. This high rate of travel continued into subsequent years, with another 58,896 miles recorded between 2024 and 2026. Such consistent heavy use typically places accelerated stress on suspension-related components and braking systems compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the high mileage and the otherwise clean MOT record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-frequency wear. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers for signs of leaking or perished rubber, as these often degrade under high-mile conditions. Inspect the brake discs for uneven wear or thinness, as the MOT does not measure disc thickness until they reach a legal minimum limit. Additionally, examine the chassis for any signs of structural corrosion to ensure the high-mileage use has not exposed the vehicle to harsh salt-heavy environments that compromise its integrity.
