2022 Hyundai Kona Electricity · BL71 VSV

The Hyundai Kona presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 8 January 2026 at 34,493 miles with zero defects recorded. The previous test on 2 January 2025 at 25,259 miles flagged both front tyres worn close to legal limits and worn on their edges, indicating uneven wear patterns likely linked to wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The absence of any defects in the most recent test suggests the tyres were replaced and the underlying wear issue was addressed, pointing to a responsible ownership pattern moving forward. The vehicle has covered approximately 9,234 miles in the twelve months between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, which aligns with the overall average of roughly 8,623 miles per year for a four-year-old vehicle. There are no significant mileage gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded history, and the current mileage of 34,493 miles is entirely typical for its age. The MOT record is sparse but consistent, with no long periods of unaccounted standing that might raise concerns about seized components or perished rubber. Despite the clean recent result, a buyer should still inspect the front suspension components closely, including the suspension bushes, ball joints, and tracking alignment, given the previous advisory for uneven front tyre wear. Uneven edge wear on both nearside and offside fronts often hints at toe misalignment or worn suspension bushes rather than simple neglect. The brake discs and pads should also be checked for even wear, as the vehicle has now accumulated over 34,000 miles of use. While the current MOT confirms structural integrity and roadworthiness, verifying the condition of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and subframe corrosion protection will provide further confidence in the vehicle's long-term mechanical health.
