2021 Hyundai Kona Electric · DF21 UTL

The Hyundai Kona presents a clean bill of health as of its most recent MOT on 13 May 2026, when it passed with zero defects recorded at 39,785 miles. The maintenance trend across the full record is stable and consistently strong, with no advisories or failures noted in any of the three tests conducted since 2024. This is a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by any tester to date. The mileage accumulation is steady and broadly typical for a five-year-old car. Between the June 2024 test at 25,004 miles and the June 2025 test at 33,489 miles, the car covered 8,485 miles in twelve months. That figure then dropped to 6,296 miles over the following eleven months leading to the May 2026 test. The slight reduction in annual mileage during the most recent period may indicate lighter use or shorter commuting, but nothing in the record suggests the car has been sitting idle for extended periods or subjected to unusually hard use. With no defects recorded across three consecutive annual tests, there are no recurring fault patterns to flag. The absence of advisories on suspension components, brake systems, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion means the standard MOT inspection has not identified any developing concerns. That said, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion on subframes and suspension mounting points, as the Kona's electric and hybrid variants can place different mechanical demands on certain components. Tyre condition and brake pad thickness should also be verified in person, as consumable wear is not always fully captured in the MOT pass record. The clean MOT history supports a confident purchase, but a pre-buy inspection by a qualified mechanic remains prudent. Pay particular attention to the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of exhaust or body corrosion that may develop between test intervals. The data tells a positive story. A hands-on check will confirm whether the physical condition matches the paper record.
