Buying a Hyundai Ioniq 5 in Tasmania
Ioniq 5 shares the E-GMP platform with Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60; the ICCU (integrated charging control unit) recall affects all of them. Verify the recall has been actioned via Hyundai's VIN tool before purchase, otherwise the car can refuse to charge and brick on the highway. Originally a fleet/govt favourite — many used examples are ex-rental, which doesn't show on PPSR but shows on the NEVDIS odometer history (steep early-life km accumulation).
Specific to Tasmania: Tasmania has the smallest but most stable used-car market in Australia. The state's distinctive vehicle profile — strong demand for AWD wagons (Subaru Outback, Forester) and compact 4WDs — reflects the geography. Be aware that vehicles transferred from the mainland to TAS (and vice versa) have a higher incidence of rebadged interstate write-offs; NEVDIS verification is essential regardless of current state of registration.
