HYUNDAI KONA PREMIUM SE GDI HEV S-A2021 · 1.6L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-14 at 56,806 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a failure with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests potential data entry errors or unresolved issues. The prior test in 2024-09-18 at 39,290 miles was a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend up to that point. However, the lack of recent testing beyond October 2025 raises concerns about the vehicle’s current roadworthiness, as MOTs are required every 10 months. The mileage progression shows 39,290 miles at 2024-09-18, increasing to 56,806 miles by 2025-10-14—a 17,516-mile rise in 13 months. This exceeds the average annual mileage of 11,361, suggesting higher usage that could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions systems. No gaps in the record are evident, but the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential mechanical degradation. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as these are common in higher-mileage vehicles. The brake system, including discs and pads, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion. Structural integrity is not flagged in the MOT data, but the lack of recent testing means hidden issues could exist. A pre-purchase inspection is strongly advised to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the incomplete and conflicting MOT records.
