2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV Electricity · YP72 DME

A 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV presenting with a clean DVSA MOT history, with the most recent test on 27 August 2026 recording a pass and no advisories or defects, and the prior test on 19 September 2025 also passing without any items noted. Across the two recorded examinations there is no documented pattern of component wear, no flagged corrosion, brake, suspension, or lighting issues, and no structural concerns raised by the examiner. The advisory and failure history is therefore empty, leaving the formal DVSA record showing nothing more than continued roadworthiness certification with no mechanical defects called out for attention. This is the simplest possible outcome an MOT record can produce. The recorded mileage of 22,315 miles over an approximate four-year span equates to an annual accumulation of roughly 5,579 miles, which sits well below the typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age. Such a low annual figure generally reflects light utilisation rather than intensive daily driving, and on a purely mechanical basis it means the consumable wear items typically associated with high mileage, including brake friction material, tyre tread depth, suspension bushes, and drive unit components, have been subjected to comparatively modest demand. However, lower annual mileage on any vehicle, particularly a battery electric model, can also indicate extended periods of stationary storage, which has its own considerations relating to tyre flat-spotting, brake disc surface corrosion from infrequent use, and 12V auxiliary battery condition. The two MOT tests fall roughly eleven months apart and the recorded mileages between them would need to be cross-checked against the V5C and service documentation to confirm whether the vehicle has been used consistently or has experienced any longer standing periods between examinations. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any documented advisories means there are no specific components from the MOT record to target during a physical inspection, which places greater emphasis on a thorough independent evaluation. A careful road test should focus on the symptoms most commonly associated with light-use electric vehicles: any vibration or roughness through the steering over uneven surfaces that might indicate worn suspension linkages or top mounts, any knocking or clonking from the front suspension on full lock or over speed humps that could suggest tie rod or anti-roll bar bush wear, and any pulling or wandering at motorway speeds that might indicate geometry issues or uneven tyre wear. Brake pedal feel should be checked carefully, as low-mileage EVs frequently suffer from corroded or glazed discs and seized caliper sliders due to limited brake actuation, which can manifest as a harsh, grabby pedal response or visible lipping on the disc edges. Listen for any regen-braking inconsistency and ensure the transition between regenerative and friction braking is smooth and predictable. Beyond the dynamic checks, a close static inspection should examine the tyres for any uneven shoulder wear, cracking in the sidewalls from age, or flat-spotting from standing, as four-year-old tyres on a low-mileage vehicle may still require replacement on age grounds regardless of remaining tread. The high-voltage battery state of health should be independently verified through a Hyundai diagnostic session or third-party telematic report, as MOT records do not assess traction battery condition. The 12V auxiliary battery, charging cable and port, and all exterior lighting including the distinctive LED signatures should be confirmed functional. Finally, ensure all factory recall campaigns applicable to this VIN have been completed, particularly those relating to the Integrated Charging Control Unit and any software calibrations, as these have been the subject of manufacturer action on this model.
