2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · AY18 YBP

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 51,360 miles and no recorded defects. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance standards compared to previous years where multiple consumable issues were flagged. The transition from the several advisory notes in 2024 to a clean test sheet suggests the current owner has addressed the outstanding mechanical and rubber components identified in earlier inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. There is a steady progression of use, moving from 26,882 miles in February 2021 to 51,360 miles by August 2025. This low-average usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy long-distance stress, though it may explain the presence of perishing tyres and wipers noted in the 2021 and 2024 records. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the braking system and rubber-related parts. While the 2023 test flagged thin front brake pads at 44,257 miles, and the 2024 test noted edge wear and perishing tyres, the buyer must verify that these have been replaced with high-quality components. Given the history of windscreen damage and defective wiper blades, a close check of the glass for new cracks and the functionality of the wiper arms is necessary to ensure no recurring issues have returned.
