2021 Hyundai Kona Electric · DV71 LZC

The 2021 Hyundai Kona presents a stable and clean maintenance trend, culminating in a pass with no recorded defects during the most recent MOT on 8 January 2026 at 67,615 miles. The absence of any advisories or failures in the latest test indicates the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. This consistent pass record suggests the mechanical and structural integrity remains sound, with no ongoing or worsening issues flagged by the tester. The vehicle has accumulated 67,615 miles over roughly five years, averaging approximately 13,523 miles annually, which is high for its age. The mileage progression reveals a notable surge between 4 October 2024 at 46,415 miles and 8 October 2025 at 64,397 miles, covering nearly 18,000 miles in a single year. This higher usage accelerates wear on consumables and suspension components. The record contains a data anomaly on 4 October 2024, listing both a pass and a fail at the identical 46,415-mile mark with no defects recorded; this likely represents a system recording error or an aborted retest rather than a mechanical fault. Given the high annual mileage, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components subject to accelerated wear. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as high mileage quickly exposes weak points in the damping system. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping, alongside checking the tyre condition and tread depth across all four corners. While the MOT record remains entirely free of structural corrosion or mechanical faults, the elevated usage demands a thorough physical assessment of the undercarriage and drivetrain to verify the long-term durability of these high-wear parts.
