2021 Hyundai Kona Premium T-GDI Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FL21 AHG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 11 March 2026 at 35,894 miles. The maintenance trend appears somewhat reactive rather than proactive. While the car passed its 2025 test with no defects, the most recent 2026 test required a retest after failing on 10 March 2026 due to headlamp aim issues and a damaged nearside front tyre. The failure regarding the headlamp levelling device switch suggests an electrical or component fault that was addressed to secure the pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-mid-range usage pattern for a five-year-old vehicle. The car covered 5,968 miles between March 2025 and March 2026, and approximately 6,034 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This averages roughly 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with the overall lifetime average of 7,179 miles per year. This steady progression indicates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre management and consumable upkeep. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyre-related failures, specifically in March 2024 with worn edges and a cut sidewall, and again in March 2026 with a perishing nearside front tyre. This suggests the previous owner may have neglected routine tyre inspections or deferred replacement until the MOT threshold. Inspect the front lighting system and headlamp adjustment mechanism during a physical viewing to ensure the levelling switch and aim remain stable. Given the history of worn tyres and faulty wiper blades in 2024, a thorough check of all rubber components, including windscreen seals and suspension bushes, is advisable. While no structural corrosion or brake issues were flagged, the pattern of consumable neglect warrants a close look at the overall condition of the braking surfaces and suspension components.
