HYUNDAI KONA PREMIUM SE GDI HEV S-A2020 · 1.6L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a sharp decline in mechanical condition during the most recent inspection. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the June 2025 MOT at 23,615 miles revealed a significant cluster of defects related to the suspension and wheels. This shift from a zero-defect history to multiple failures suggests either a recent impact or a period of accelerated component wear that was not present in previous inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between February 2023 at 10,282 miles and June 2024 at 15,532 miles. However, the vehicle covered over 8,000 miles between the June 2024 and 2025 tests. This sudden increase in usage likely correlates with the appearance of the mechanical faults, as the vehicle has been subjected to more road stress than the previous years indicated. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension to address the issues flagged in the latest test. The tester identified a damaged offside rear suspension arm and a damaged offside front Macpherson strut, alongside worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. Furthermore, the distortion on both the offside front and off rear road wheels suggests a significant impact that may have compromised the wheel alignment or hub bearings. You should verify that these components have been replaced with genuine parts and that the geometry has been professionally rectified to prevent uneven tyre wear.
