2022 Hyundai Kona Electric · BF22 JHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward component wear related to age. The most recent test on 12 March 2026 at 14,720 miles passed but identified both front tyres reaching the legal depth limit with signs of uneven wear. This indicates that while the car is safe for the road, consumable items are beginning to reach the end of their functional life despite the low overall annual mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,680 miles per year. Between the 20 February 2025 test at 11,976 miles and the March 2026 test, the car covered only 2,744 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle was used for short trips or sat for extended periods, which often leads to the types of degradation seen in the braking system rather than mechanical fatigue from high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres. The 2025 test flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs, followed by the 2026 test noting similar issues on the front discs. This recurring pattern of surface corrosion and pitting is typical of low-use vehicles where brakes are not used frequently enough to clear away surface rust. The edge wear noted on the front tyres also warrants a check of the wheel alignment and worn suspension bushes to ensure new tyres do not prematurely prematurely.
