2020 Hyundai Kona Electric · AF20 KVA

The Hyundai Kona presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 December 2025 at 96,937 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests on 19 March 2024 at 72,894 miles and 17 March 2023 at 57,982 miles also passed clean. Three consecutive annual examinations with zero advisories indicates the previous keeper addressed wear before each test and the vehicle carries no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns in the official record. The mileage pattern runs high for a 2020 registered car. By 17 March 2023 the odometer read 57,982 miles, rising to 72,894 by 19 March 2024, then jumping to 96,937 by 15 December 2025. That final leap of roughly 24,000 miles in under nine months suggests heavy commuting or business use rather than steady private motoring, and the six-year total of 96,937 equates to about 16,156 miles per year. The DVSA data shows no gaps longer than twelve months between tests, so the book is continuous and the clean sheets are not masking lapsed periods. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The absence of recorded advisories means no tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or corrosion, yet high annual mileage accelerates consumable fatigue that a single annual test will not catch between visits. Focus the viewing on front suspension arm bushes, driveshaft gaiters, and brake disc lip wear, plus a ramp check of the subframe for early structural rust. Given the 24,000 mile surge in the final recorded year, verify the service history covers that period with timed oil changes and transmission fluid checks. The MOT record alone confirms legal roadworthiness, not mechanical longevity under sustained high-load use.
