Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2022 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Hyundai Ioniq:

What this means if you are buying a 2022 Ioniq

The 2022 is one of the stronger years for this model, passing 4.7 points more often than the Hyundai Ioniq average. That is a point in its favour, though condition and service history still matter more than the model year.

What a 4-year-old car fails on

A 2022 car is 4 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck. On a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq the average at test was 34,049 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

2022 is the strongest year on record for this model at 95.1%, ahead of every other year we hold data for.
