2019 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · EU19 GYK

This 2019 Hyundai Kona presents an exemplary MOT record, with a completely clean maintenance trend that remains stable and consistent. The most recent test, conducted on 19 May 2026 at 29,350 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This outcome is not an isolated event but the culmination of five consecutive flawless annual tests stretching back to April 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been well maintained and carefully used throughout its life. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light, regular use. Over approximately seven years, the car has covered just 29,350 miles, averaging roughly 4,193 miles per year, which is notably low for its age. The annual increments between tests are remarkably steady: 2,338 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, 2,239 miles between April 2023 and May 2024, 1,996 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, and 3,368 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest the car sat idle for extended periods or was subjected to unusually harsh use. The slight uptick in the most recent year is modest and well within normal variation. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that MOT tests only sample at a point in time. With such low annual mileage, rubber suspension bushes, dust boots, and seals may have aged through time rather than wear, so check for perishing, cracking, or dry rot even if no play was detected during the test. Examine the underside for surface corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust components, as short-trip use can accelerate moisture-related corrosion even on low-mileage cars. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related crazing, since the original rubber may be approaching its service life regardless of remaining tread depth. Test the brakes for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear that can develop from infrequent use. The MOT record confirms excellent mechanical care, but age-related deterioration on a low-mileage car demands its own specific checks.
