FAQs

Is a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq reliable?

2022-registered examples passed 90.9% of their MOT tests (5,153 tests, 2023–2025), -0.3 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 4 years old with a median 26,071 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2022 Ioniq?

The median tested example shows 26,071 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
