Electric against the other Hyundai Ioniq versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid | 89.9% | 35,179 |
| Electric | 92.4% | 7,985 |
| All Hyundai Ioniq | 90.4% | 43,203 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
No exhaust, no emissions test and far fewer moving parts, which is why EVs post the highest pass rates of any fuel type. Tyres and suspension take the load instead, since they are heavier.
On the Hyundai Ioniq specifically, electric is the strongest at 92.4%, and this electric version sits 2 points above the 90.4% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The electric Hyundai Ioniq is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average electric Hyundai Ioniq had covered 37,316 miles at test, against 62,718 for the hybrid. 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.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Hyundai Ioniq page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
