2018 Hyundai Kona 1.6L Petrol · E318 ANN

The 2018 Hyundai Kona demonstrates a highly stable and positive roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT conducted on 25 June 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded, maintaining a streak of four consecutive fault-free inspections. This consistent performance indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and currently presents no systemic mechanical or structural issues. The recorded mileage of 30,012 miles over eight years averages approximately 3,752 miles annually, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with the exception of a single failure on 30 June 2022. That failure was rectified within five days, leading to a pass on 5 July 2022. This rapid resolution suggests that the previous owner addressed maintenance requirements promptly rather than allowing issues to persist. Given the low annual mileage, the primary concern for a prospective buyer is the potential for components to seize or deteriorate due to infrequent use rather than high-impact wear. You should perform a physical inspection of the brake discs and calipers for signs of surface corrosion or binding, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from under-use of the braking system. Check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, and inspect the suspension bushes and gaiters for perishing rubber. While the MOT history is exemplary, a thorough check of the service book is still recommended to confirm that oil changes and fluid flushes were completed on a time-based schedule despite the low mileage.
