2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · RO68 UED

The vehicle currently holds a non-roadworthy status following a failed MOT on June 10, 2026, at 47,058 miles. tester rejected the car based solely solely on a non-functional offside rear fog lamp. While this failure represents a minor electrical defect, the overall maintenance trend appears stable. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car passed three consecutive tests with no recorded defects, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components remained within acceptable parameters during that period. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,882 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between the September 2024 test at 29,514 miles and the June 2026 test at 47,058 miles, where the car covered over 17,500 miles in less than two years. This recent shift in usage pattern suggests more frequent operation in recent months, though the low overall annual mileage can sometimes lead to dry-rotting of rubber components if the car sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres, as the September 2022 test at 20,569 miles flagged all four tyres for cracking and edge wear. While these were likely replaced since then, the low-mileage history necessitates a check that the current set has not perished due to age rather than tread wear. Given the lack of recorded structural corrosion or brake issues in the MOT history, the focus should remain on verifying that the electrical fault for the fog lamp is rectified and that no other minor defects have emerged during the recent increase in mileage.
