2022 Hyundai Kona Electricity · BL71 VSM

The 2026-05-07 test indicates that the vehicle has been in the MOT for over two years, placing it firmly in the post-2025 timeframe. Since the most recent inspection occurred in May 2026, the vehicle is currently under the 2026 MOT window, which is the only period where the vehicle is expected to be inspected. The history shows a clear deterioration trend: the 2026-05-07 test failed on the windscreen wipers, followed by a failed 2025-01-02 test on the front tyres, and a failed 2025-01-09 test on the rear tyres. This sequence demonstrates that the vehicle has experienced a progressive loss of roadworthiness, moving from a passing condition to a failed condition within the last two years. While the initial 2026-05-07 test was passed, the subsequent failures in 2025 confirm that the vehicle is no longer roadworthy for use under the current testing regime. The mileage pattern suggests a significant accumulation of wear that is not typical for a vehicle of this age. The 2022 Hyundai Kona is approximately four years old, and the recorded mileage of 38,436 miles represents roughly 9,609 miles per year, which is the standard for this vehicle class. However, the data reveals a sharp gap between the 2025-01-09 test and the 2026-05-07 test, where the vehicle moved from a passing condition to a failed one. This rapid increase in mileage since January 2025, combined with the recurring failure of the front and rear tyres, indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained according to standard care patterns. The lack of a clear gap between the 2025-01-09 and 2025-01-02 tests further suggests that the vehicle has been driven for over two years without proper servicing, leading to accelerated wear on the tyres and suspension components. In conclusion, the 2026-05-07 test fails to support the vehicle's current roadworthiness status. The progressive failure of the windscreen wipers in May 2026, followed by the ply exposure on the front and rear tyres in January 2025, confirms that the vehicle is not roadworthy. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as well as the structural integrity of the exhaust system. Given the history of tyre wear and the 2026-05-07 failure, the vehicle is likely to require a full inspection and potential repair of the windscreen wipers and tyres to be considered for purchase.
