A 2022 Hyundai Ioniq is now 4 years old, so an average example has covered around 54,000 miles. The final model year of the generation · generally the most sorted build, so mileage, servicing and condition matter more than build-year faults. Check the state safety inspection and service history alongside the documented faults below, which are sorted by whether a 2022 car has usually reached the mileage where they appear.
