2022 Hyundai Kona Electricity · BL71 VSX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate dated 2026-01-05 for 35,153 miles, which falls within a stable maintenance trend. The tester flagged an offside windscreen wiper blade defect in the September 2023 test, indicating that the previous owner had a specific component failure requiring immediate attention rather than routine servicing. This suggests the vehicle may have been serviced at intervals, though the lack of a current MOT certificate implies the warranty has likely expired. The next MOT entry, recorded on 2024-12-16, confirms the car continues to operate without further issues, maintaining the current stability of the mechanical system. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 8,788 miles over four years, which aligns with its age but does not indicate rapid wear on consumables. The absence of a MOT certificate since the 2023 test suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, and the car has not been repaired since then. While the mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, the lack of a current MOT certificate and the specific defect in the September 2023 test warrant a cautious approach. The car is currently in good condition, but the history indicates a need for periodic checks to address the identified wiper blade issue before it becomes a structural hazard. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension, brake discs, and exhaust emissions themselves, as the MOT records have flagged issues in both the rear and front axles. The lack of a current MOT certificate means there is no current warranty for these specific components, and the previous owner's history suggests they may have had issues with these parts. A thorough physical inspection is required to determine if the car is safe to drive, as the previous owner's failure to address the wiper blade defect could have accelerated wear on critical components. If the car has been driven for over a year, a professional inspection is strongly recommended to assess the condition of the suspension and brakes before purchase.
