Hyundai Ioniq is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 37,323 represented vehicles and 0.09% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 88.2% from 200,945 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 55. The current pool shows an average of 71,029 miles and an average age of 5.8 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 96,923 miles. Hybrid electric leads the fuel split, followed by electric, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, parking brake and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Hyundai Ioniq looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
