2021 Hyundai Kona N Line T-GDI Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · EX71 AVN

This Hyundai Kona demonstrates a clean and consistent roadworthiness record, with both MOT tests—conducted on 2025-07-22 at 36,357 miles and 2024-08-29 at 26,727 miles—resulting in a full pass without any defects or advisories. The absence of recurring issues across these tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means no confirmation of proactive care beyond statutory requirements. The most recent test, just under a year ago, aligns with the 12-month MOT cycle, indicating no overdue or deferred testing. However, the absence of any advisories does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension bushes or brake calipers—which may only become apparent through a thorough mechanical inspection. The recorded mileage of 36,357 miles over approximately five years reflects a steady usage pattern of around 7,271 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no evident gaps in service intervals or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the sparse data—only two MOT entries—limits deeper insight into long-term maintenance habits. Without service history or additional records, it is impossible to confirm whether intermediate checks, such as fluid changes or suspension inspections, were conducted. The mileage itself suggests moderate wear on consumable components, but no red flags emerge from the available data. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection focusing on suspension integrity, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are prone to fatigue over 36,000 miles. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced aggressive driving or heavy loads. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns warrant scrutiny, as the absence of MOT defects could mask uneven wear from alignment issues or underinflation. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, should also be assessed, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this age and mileage. The hybrid/electric components (MHEV system) should be checked for any warning lights or degradation in regenerative braking efficiency, though no MOT history provides direct evidence of such issues.
