2016 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric · WM66 LFK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows clear signs of worsening based on the most recent inspection. While the car passed its test on 25 November 2025 at 58,322 miles, it introduced several new defects that were not present in previous years. The shift from a clean record in 2023 to multiple advisories suggests a recent lapse in attention regarding routine consumable maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,832 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage, moving from 39,940 miles in 2021 to 58,322 miles in 2025. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of low use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which appears consistent with the issues identified in the latest test results. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the most recent test flagged a binding nearside rear brake and rusty rear artwork discs. The fact that both front tyres were noted as being worn close to the legal limit with evidence of edge wear indicates a potential alignment issue or suspension geometry that requires addressing. Additionally, the windscreen should be checked for repair, as damage has been a recurring theme across the 2022, 2024, and 2025 inspections.
