2018 Hyundai Kona 1.6L Petrol · CP07 AAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 17 April 2025 at 15,883 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure exactly one day prior at 15,878 miles. Because the failure recorded no defects, it likely indicates a minor administrative issue like a blown-out bulb or a sensor malfunction that was rectified immediately. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any mechanical or structural advisories noted. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,985 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but slow accumulation of mileage, moving from 9,500 miles in September 2022 to 15,883 miles in April 2025. The gap of only 6,383 miles over nearly three years suggests the vehicle is used primarily for short trips or sits stationary for long periods. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluid contamination from lack of regular operation. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on components affected by low-use storage cycles. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or heavy pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, as rubber compounds perish over time regardless of distance traveled. Given the low mileage, verify the service history to ensure oil and fluid changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than mileage alone to prevent internal engine wear.
