2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE Connect EV Electricity · YS22 SCV

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-14 shows the vehicle failed due to headlamp aim issues (both front headlamps below the 2.75m limit) and tyre damage (nearside and offside front outer tyres with cracking or perishing). A separate passed MOT on the same date noted the same tyre issues and an expiring tyre repair sealant (valid until July 2026). These findings suggest recurring tyre-related defects and headlamp alignment problems that may not have been fully resolved. The 2025-05-30 MOT showed a passed result with a nail in the nearside front tyre , indicating prior tyre damage. The pattern of tyre issues (cracking, perishing, and punctures) appears consistent across multiple MOTs, though no major structural or safety-critical faults were recorded. The headlamp aim failure in 2026 is a new issue, but it’s unclear if this is a recurring problem or a one-off. The vehicle’s mileage of 22,148 miles (4 years old) equates to ~5,537 miles per year , which is low for its age . This could indicate light usage or periods of inactivity , which might contribute to tyre perishing or sealant degradation. However, low mileage alone does not guarantee mechanical soundness—issues like electrical systems or fluid leaks may still arise. The trend in defects shows no clear worsening of major faults, but the repetition of tyre damage and headlamp alignment issues suggests ongoing maintenance needs .
