2022 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric · BF22 ENM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on 02 December 2025 at 23,549 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent resolution of urgent safety issues, as the car failed just one day prior at 23,544 miles due to critical tyre defects. While the failure indicates a lapse in routine consumable inspections, the immediate rectification suggests the owner is responsive to legal safety requirements once flagged by the tester. At four years old, the recorded 23,549 miles represent low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 5,887 miles per year. This low annual mileage typically suggests less mechanical strain on the hybrid drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher-mile vehicles. The gap between the failure and the pass in December 2025 confirms that the issues were isolated to the tyre-related items rather than deep mechanical failure or long-term structural neglect. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the nearside front tyre was noted to be worn on the edge during the failure. While the offside front showed exposed cords, such uneven wear often stems from incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for flat spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat for extended periods, ensuring the brake discs remain free of excessive pitting and the calipers move freely.
