2021 Hyundai Kona Ultimate GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · BV71 WDA

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 4 September 2025 at 16,191 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure regarding headlamp alignment. Once the nearside and offside front lamps were adjusted, the tester recorded no further defects, indicating that the primary mechanical systems and structural components met the required safety standards during that inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,238 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 7,753 miles and the September 2025 test at 16,191 miles, the car covered 8,438 miles. This low usage suggests short-distance commuting or infrequent use, which typically results in less wear on components like suspension bushes and brake pads, but can occasionally lead to flat-spotting or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus on the physical condition of rubber components and fluid integrity, as low mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation. While the MOT record shows no history of structural rust or mechanical failure, a manual inspection should verify the condition of the tyres for cracking and ensure the brake discs are free of surface pitting. Given the headlamp aim failure in 2025, ensure the light assemblies are securely mounted and do not vibrate loose, which would cause recurring alignment issues.
