2018 HYUNDAI KONA1.0L Petrol

This vehicle presents as mechanically sound with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 25 April 2025 at 24,340 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day at 24,338 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 3,042 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2022 test at 12,879 miles and the April 2024 test at 17,469 miles shows a consistent, light usage pattern. A more significant jump occurred between April 2024 and April 2025, where the odometer rose by 6,871 miles, indicating a recent increase in the vehicle's activity. The absence of any advisories or failures across five years of testing is rare and suggests a high standard of care or very light duty. Because the car has spent much of its life doing low mileage, a buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of distance. Check for perishing rubber on the tyres and suspension bushes, and verify that the brake discs have not suffered from surface corrosion or pitting due to long periods of standing. Ensure the engine oil and other fluids show no signs of contamination from infrequent use. While the DVSA record is clean, the low mileage means the vehicle may not have been pushed hard enough to reveal intermittent faults. A thorough physical check of the braking system for sticking calipers is recommended to ensure the car remains roadworthy.
