2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV

CarHunch analysed 2,070 real MOT records for the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV is a solid performer, with an 89.3% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare, affecting just 2.6% of vehicles tested. This is a genuinely reliable car with minimal structural issues.

At 31,109 miles median for a two-year-old car, these are relatively low-mileage examples, which partly explains the strong MOT results; the 0.13 average failures per vehicle and 0.6 advisories per vehicle suggest owners aren't encountering major wear problems yet. If you're considering one, request the full MOT history to confirm it's been regularly serviced, as these EVs should remain trouble-free if maintenance hasn't been skipped.

What to check before buying a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium EV

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
