2021 Hyundai Kona Ultimate GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AO71 CUH

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with only one minor advisory noted across its testing history. The most recent inspection on 18 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a previous pass in 2024 that flagged a minor tyre issue. This trajectory suggests a stable trend of roadworthiness regarding the components checked during the MOT process. The recorded mileage of 8,180 miles is significantly low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 1,636 miles per year. Such a low accumulation rate indicates the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Mechanically, this usage pattern shifts the focus from wear-and-tear on the drivetrain and suspension to the potential degradation of rubber components and fluids due to inactivity. Given the 2024 advisory regarding the offside front tyre being damaged or perishing, a physical inspection of all tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure the rubber has not continued to degrade or crack. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any unusual vibrations or noise from the front axle and check for any steering pull that could indicate uneven tyre wear or pressure issues. Attention should be paid to the operation of the hybrid system and the smoothness of the automatic transmission during gear transitions. While no mechanical failures have been recorded, the low mileage means the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress cycles, so the buyer should verify that the brakes do not bind and that the pedal feel is consistent, ensuring the calipers have not seized during periods of inactivity.
