2020 HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID BLUE VIN KMHC65LC6LU221044

This Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Blue was built in 2020. The powertrain is hybrid. The drivetrain combines an automatic gearbox with front-wheel drive. The specification is taken from the source data and has not been checked against other documents.

The recorded mileage is 54,976 miles. A later figure lower than an earlier one points to a replaced instrument cluster or an odometer that has been wound back.

The source data names no primary damage. That shows only that none was entered, so the body still deserves a close look. Paint depth, panel gaps and the underbody show whether the body has been repaired.

A key was noted with the car. A condition note describes the car at one moment; months of standing or later work on the car can change the picture in either direction.

The car carries a transfer document in place of a title. Without a title certificate, registering the car can take extra paperwork and checks.

A car’s history is the sum of what has happened to it since it was new, and most of it has left a trace on paper somewhere. A car’s past rarely shows on the paintwork: a well-repaired accident or water damage that was dried out is easy to miss.

For the engine, the service history matters most: oil changes, filters and the timing belt or chain are the entries to look for. A hybrid adds a traction battery to the engine, and its condition deserves a check of its own. The automatic gearbox needs its fluid changed at the manufacturer’s intervals, and invoices should show that it was.

The tenth character of the VIN stands for the model year, and the eleventh for the plant that built the car. The VIN on file for this car is KMHC65LC6LU221044. The VIN usually appears at the base of the windscreen, on a door pillar and stamped into the body, and all of them should match the documents.

Where entries exist, a VIN check can show changes of owner, past mileage readings, reported damage and whether the car is listed as stolen. A history report says nothing about the car’s present condition: the frame, corrosion, electrics and the quality of any repair are judged on a lift by a mechanic.
