2020 Hyundai Kona Electric · DS70 AUP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 33,738 miles. Although the car failed the test on that date, it passed immediately thereafter with no defects recorded, suggesting any identified issues were rectified right away. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three annual tests indicates that no significant mechanical or structural components are currently trending towards progressive failure. The mileage pattern remains consistently low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles annually. Between the November 2023 test at 18,531 miles and the December 2024 test at 25,330 miles, the car covered 6,799 miles, while the subsequent interval saw 8,408 miles covered in just thirteen months. This low-frequency usage suggests short trips, which typically places less strain on drivetrain components but can sometimes lead to oil degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer under low-use conditions rather than high-mile wear. Specifically, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perish, as low-mileage cars often experience rubber degradation over time despite age. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface pitting or binding, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from clearing clean. Since the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion or emissions failures, the integrity of the chassis appears well-maintained for its age.
