2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · EX68 EHT

The current MOT status of this Hyundai Kona is valid until June 2026, with the most recent test conducted on 27 June 2025 at 62,395 miles. The vehicle displays a stable maintenance trend, as it has passed every annual inspection since 2022. While the recent advisories regarding tyre wear indicate a need for immediate attention to the front axle, the lack of structural or mechanical failures suggests the vehicle has been kept in a generally reliable condition. The recorded mileage of 62,395 over an eight-year period equates to an average of approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The accumulation of mileage appears consistent across the history, with a notable increase of roughly 10,000 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has remained in regular operation rather than sitting stagnant for extended periods, which is generally favourable for the longevity of engine seals and battery health. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front brake discs and pads, as these components were flagged as wearing thin during the 2024 inspection. Given the 2025 advisories, you must also verify the current tread depth and alignment on the front tyres, as the recurring pattern of edge wear suggests a potential tracking issue that may lead to premature replacement if left unaddressed. While the alternator belt was noted as perished in the 2024 record, ensure this has been replaced to prevent failure of the charging system. Overall, the history points to a vehicle that requires routine consumable maintenance rather than major structural or drivetrain repairs.
