2022 Hyundai Kona Electric · CK22 ABU

The Hyundai Kona presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 47,893 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry exists on the same date and mileage, yet the DVSA record shows no defects listed against that failure, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the vehicle itself. Prior to that, the February 2025 test at 32,561 miles passed cleanly. The history shows no advisories, no corrosion, and no mechanical faults across either examination. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a four-year-old vehicle. The car covered 15,332 miles between the February 2025 test and the January 2026 test, equating to roughly 11,900 miles per year since registration. The gap of eleven months between tests is standard for annual MOT cycles. With only two test points on file, the dataset is sparse, but both pass outcomes with zero defects suggest the previous owner kept the car to a sound standard of basic upkeep. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories means tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions were within limits at test, but a January 2026 pass offers no visibility on wear developed since. Check the coil springs and steering joints for early fatigue, and confirm the brake calipers are free from binding after the car has stood. The duplicate January 2026 entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failure was paperwork-related and not a suppressed defect. Given the low defect count and ordinary mileage, this Kona shows no warning signs of neglected maintenance. The brief history implies a careful keeper who addressed requirements before each test. Verify service stamps against the 47,893-mile odometer and inspect underneath for any structural corrosion the MOT may not have captured on a four-year-old unit.
