HYUNDAI KONA2020 · 1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent MOT pass on 18 March 2026 at 42,124 miles. Maintenance trend remains stable across the recorded history, with every annual test from July 2023 through March 2026 returning a pass and no defects or advisories logged. The official record shows an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage as the pass, yet no defects were recorded against either entry, pointing to a probable administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2020 registered car. The tester recorded 20,196 miles on 27 July 2023, 27,969 miles on 24 July 2024, 36,205 miles on 9 July 2025, and 42,124 miles on 18 March 2026. Annual accumulation sits near 7,000 to 8,000 miles, reflecting gentle private use rather than high-load duty. No sudden gaps or rapid accumulation appear in the data, and the clean sheet of advisories implies previous owners kept basic consumables within tolerance. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements before purchase. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and the underbody for corrosion compromising structural integrity. The Hyundai Kona's modest mileage reduces but does not eliminate risk of aged rubber perishing or exhaust emissions drift. A buyer should seek clarification from the selling party regarding the duplicated test outcome on 18 March 2026 to confirm no suppressed fault prompted the initial failure.
