Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV (2022)
2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV
CarHunch analysed 2,046 real MOT records for the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is proving genuinely reliable, with a 90.2% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 1.5% of vehicles ever flagged with a dangerous defect—well below concern threshold. Electric drivetrains have fewer moving parts than petrol engines, and this data reflects that advantage.
At 27,175 miles median, these cars are running light for their age, which partly explains the low failure count of 0.08 per vehicle. The 0.5 advisories per vehicle suggest minor wear items are emerging, but if you're in the market for one, a pre-purchase inspection focusing on battery health and charging port condition will give you the confidence you need.
What to check before buying a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate 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.
