2021 Hyundai Kona SE Connect EV Electricity · DV21 TWD

The 2021 Hyundai Kona SE Connect EV presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 12 March 2024 at 27,620 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories. This single recorded test outcome indicates no active mechanical or structural concerns at the time of assessment. However, the record is notably sparse, offering only one data point across the vehicle's five-year lifespan, which limits the ability to confirm a consistent maintenance trend. The mileage pattern raises a significant flag for a prospective buyer. The vehicle reached 27,620 miles by March 2024, averaging approximately 5,524 miles per year since its 2021 registration. This is exceptionally low annual use. More critically, there is no prior MOT history to establish a mileage progression. The first recorded test appears at the vehicle's current terminal mileage, meaning the car's activity between 2021 and early 2024 is entirely unaccounted for in the official record. This gap could indicate long periods of standing, which carries its own risks for tyre flat-spotting, brake surface corrosion, and battery health degradation in an EV. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on components that suffer from disuse rather than high mileage wear. The tyres demand close scrutiny for sidewall cracking and date codes, as the original factory fitment from 2021 is now five years old and likely due for replacement regardless of tread depth. The braking system should be checked for binding calipers and corroded discs, common issues on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for deterioration, and the underside examined for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around mounting points and the battery casing. The high-voltage battery's state of charge and health should be professionally diagnosed, as prolonged inactivity can cause cell imbalance in electric vehicles.
