2017 Hyundai Ioniq 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · YY17 XSR

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT certificate as of March 2026, though the recent history indicates a trend of recurring mechanical and safety concerns. The most recent test at 282,227 miles flagged offside front play in the steering rack inner joint(s) and noted the offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. This follows a significant failure recorded two months prior, on March 2, 2026, which identified multiple issues including tyre pressure monitoring system malfunction, an inoperative engine malfunction indicator, and poor service brake efficiency. The mileage pattern suggests a high usage rate for the age of the vehicle. The vehicle reached 52,114 miles in July 2019 and subsequently accumulated over 220,000 miles by March 2026. This rapid accumulation of mileage implies that consumables, including suspension components and braking systems, have likely experienced accelerated wear. The history shows a pattern of issues surfacing shortly after reaching specific mileage thresholds, suggesting that routine maintenance may have been inconsistent during this period. A buyer should inspect the steering rack and suspension components for any looseness or play, particularly concerning the offside front joint. The previous failure also indicated an imbalance across Axle 2, requiring inspection of the rear brake discs and pads. Given the history of tyre wear issues, the condition of the tyre tread and the tyre pressure monitoring system must be thoroughly checked. The electrical system should also be verified for any remaining faults concerning the engine malfunction indicator and the windscreen wiper mechanism.
