2020 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV69 UXD

This vehicle maintains an exemplary record of roadworthiness, having secured four consecutive MOT passes without a single defect or advisory recorded since 2023. The most recent inspection on 27 January 2026 confirms a continuing trend of mechanical stability, suggesting that the core structural and safety components remain in a condition that exceeds the minimum legal requirements. A total recorded mileage of 21,464 miles over approximately six years represents a low annual accumulation rate of roughly 3,577 miles. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has spent significantly less time under load than the average UK driver, which generally results in minimal wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and interior trim. Such low mileage typically preserves the longevity of the engine and transmission, provided the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of total inactivity. Given the absence of flagged defects in the DVSA history, the physical inspection should focus on the operational smoothness of the hybrid powertrain. During the test drive, pay close attention to the transition between the electric motor and the internal combustion engine to ensure there is no undue shudder or hesitation. Check for any unusual vibrations through the steering wheel or pedal judder, which would be atypical for a vehicle with this mileage but necessary to confirm the continued integrity of the braking system and wheel bearings. A visual inspection of the underbody should confirm the absence of oil misting or fluid leaks, particularly around the hybrid transmission seals. While the MOT records show no corrosion, a check of the subframe and suspension mounting points is advised to ensure no surface rust has developed during periods of low use. Verifying the consistent operation of all electronic driver aids and the hybrid battery state of charge will complete the assessment of this mechanically clean example.
