2021 HYUNDAI KONA SE CONNECT GDI HEV S-A1.6L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 July 2025 at 27,190 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. That examination sits eleven months before the current date of 16 July 2026, with the certificate having expired on 9 July 2026. Prior examination on 10 July 2024 at 21,038 miles also yielded a clean pass. The consistent absence of advisories across both annual tests indicates no worsening mechanical or structural issues during that period. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a five-year-old car. The record shows 21,038 miles at the July 2024 test and 27,190 miles at July 2025, a modest 6,152-mile increment over twelve months. This equates to roughly 5,438 miles per year since 2021 registration, confirming light use. Sparse test data limits deep trend analysis, but the two clean passes suggest the previous owner kept basic upkeep current and avoided neglect that would trigger tyre, brake, or emission failures. No recurring faults or structural concerns appear in the official history, so the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded chassis points, or binding calipers. Still, low annual mileage can mask latent problems. A buyer should physically inspect brake discs for surface rust and calipers for binding after standing periods, and check suspension components for perishing bushes despite the clean MOT. Tyre condition warrants visual scrutiny for sidewall cracking given age rather than wear, and exhaust emissions should be verified during a cold start. The vehicle's hybrid drivetrain shows no recorded faults, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to confirm battery and structural integrity beyond the scope of MOT checks.
