2023 Hyundai Kona Electricity · DV23 AOC

This 2023 Hyundai Kona passed its most recent MOT on 29 April 2026 at 19,600 miles, but the test revealed a clear and immediate concern: both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. At just under three years old with typical mileage for its age, premature tyre wear at this stage is a red flag. Edge wear on both front tyres suggests either aggressive cornering, under-inflation, or tracking misalignment—problems that do not resolve themselves and will worsen quickly. This is not normal wear for a vehicle at this age and mileage. The fact that both tyres show the same pattern points away from a single puncture or incident and toward a systemic issue with how the car sits on the road. The mileage sits at roughly 6,500 miles per year, which is typical and not excessive. This makes the tyre wear even more concerning: the car has not done high mileage, yet the front tyres are already at legal limit. This suggests either hard or careless driving, or a suspension or alignment fault that has been present for some time. With only one MOT record in the supplied history, there is no trend data to confirm whether this is a new problem or longstanding. However, for a car this young and this lightly used, tyres should have significantly more life remaining.
