2018 Hyundai Kona 1.6L Petrol · K17 SCE

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 41,182 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of perfect passes across five consecutive inspections. This stability suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,148 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the car covered only 3,000 miles, indicating periods of very light use. A more significant increase occurred between January 2025 and January 2026, where the vehicle clocked 12,518 miles in a single year. While the low overall mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to the gradual degradation of rubber components. Because the MOT record shows no historical advisories or mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage sitting. A buyer should check for flat spots on tyres, potential corrosion on brake discs due to inactivity, and cracks in suspension bushes. Given the lack of any recorded issues with structural rust or exhaust leaks, the chassis integrity appears sound, but verifying the fluid levels and battery health is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered during its longer periods of stationary use.
