2020 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · YM20 AFE

The Hyundai Ioniq’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-25 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 37,449 miles, marking a stable maintenance pattern over the past year. The absence of advisories or repeated failures across all tests—including the duplicate entry on 2024-08-09—suggests no systemic mechanical issues have been overlooked. However, the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude wear-and-tear items from requiring attention, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 6,242 miles annually, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2023-08-03 to 2024-08-09 interval (covering 4,619 miles) is slightly longer than the subsequent 3,546 miles between 2024-08-09 and 2025-07-25. This minor variation does not indicate neglect but warrants scrutiny of consumable components like brakes and tyres, which may have been subject to extended service intervals. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas such as suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly for perishing or cracking. The brakes—while not failed—should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, as repeated stress over 37,000 miles can lead to latent issues. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be examined for corrosion, especially around the rear subframe and wheel arches, where salt ingress could compromise structural integrity over time. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, but they represent the most likely candidates for deferred maintenance.
