2017 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · WU67 KVB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improvement following a period of neglect. The most recent MOT conducted on 10 June 2026 at 86,622 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This clean sheet suggests that the current owner has performed the necessary maintenance to rectify faults that previously compromised the vehicle's standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for its age, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 40,352 miles and the June 2026 test at 86,622 miles, the car covered over 46,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps in the records that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for long periods, which generally reduces the risk of premature degradation of rubber components or seized brake calipers. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record from June 2023 at 51,789 miles revealed multiple failures. The tester flagged a binding offside rear brake, thin pads, pitted discs, and fluctuating brake pressure across the rear axle. While these were resolved for the subsequent passes, a physical inspection should verify that the rear calipers are moving freely and that the discs are not showing signs of heat damage or uneven wear from previous binding issues. The 2023 failure also highlighted poor attention to tyre maintenance, including a sidewall reaching the cords and perishing rubber on multiple tyres. Although the last three tests show no tyre defects, the buyer must check the remaining tread and age of the current rubber to ensure cracking has not returned. The recurring need to adjust the headlight beam is a minor alignment issue and does not indicate a mechanical failure.
