2021 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · VIG 8051

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention to consumables. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 38,326 miles resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged the nearside and offside rear tyres as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This indicates that while the car meets minimum legal standards, the rear tyres are deteriorating and require replacement. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,665 miles per year. Between the 6 January 2025 test at 35,209 miles and the December 2025 test, the car covered 3,117 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps maintain engine and brake health. The clean record from January 2025 shows no defects, suggesting the vehicle was well-maintained during its first few years. The emergence of perishing tyres in the December 2025 entry is the only point of concern. This type of degradation often occurs when tyres are left too long without replacement regardless of tread depth, or if the rubber has been exposed to harsh conditions. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of all four tyres to ensure the rear pair has been replaced since the last test. Given the lack of other advisories, there are no recorded issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. Focus the inspection on the tyre sidewalls for any further cracking or bulging to ensure the rubber remains safe for high-speed use.
