2020 Hyundai Kona Play T-GDI 1.0L Petrol · EY20 XYJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in February 2026 with 47,629 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a mechanical failure in early 2025. While the car previously exhibited issues related to visibility and suspension components, the subsequent pass indicates that these specific faults were addressed, returning the vehicle to a stable state for the current testing period. At 47,629 miles over six years, the Kona averages approximately 7,900 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate residential usage. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the records, with roughly 8,400 miles driven between 2023 and 2024, and another 8,400 miles between early 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests a predictable wear pattern rather than erratic driving or heavy strain on the drivetrain and braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 test identified wear on both nearside and offside suspension arm pins or bushes. Although these did not result in a failure at that time because they had not yet reached excessive movement, the recurring nature of this advisory suggests the components are nearing their lifespan. Check for any play in the steering or lateral knocks during a test drive to ensure previous repairs have held firm. The history also highlights a pattern of neglect regarding minor own, as evidenced by defective wiper blades in 2024 and a failed washer system in early 2025. Additionally, the 2023Test noted front tyres worn to the legal limit. The purchaser must verify the current condition of the tyres and ensure the washer system is fully functional without leaks or blocked nozzles, as these were previous points of failure for the vehicle.
