2020 Hyundai Kona Premium SE GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG70 FVO

The maintenance trend for this 2020 Hyundai Kona is entirely stable, reflecting a vehicle that has required no mechanical or structural remediation throughout its recorded history. The most recent MOT test on 19 September 2025 at 19,196 miles passed without a single defect, confirming the vehicle currently meets all DVSA roadworthiness standards. Prior tests in September 2023 and September 2024 also passed cleanly, establishing a consistent pattern of reliable mechanical condition with no recurring faults or advisories to monitor. The recorded mileage of 19,196 miles over approximately six years equates to a mere 3,199 miles annually, which is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records show a steady accumulation of roughly 3,600 miles per year between the September 2023 test at 13,168 miles and the September 2024 test at 16,777 miles. However, the mileage has plateaued entirely since the 2024 test, recording the exact same 19,196 miles in September 2025 as it does today. This indicates the vehicle has covered zero miles in the last ten months, pointing to prolonged stationary periods rather than active daily use. Despite the flawless MOT record, the exceptionally low annual mileage and recent ten-month stationary period warrant a focused physical inspection. Long periods of inactivity can cause brake disc corrosion and binding calipers, even if the brakes passed their recent test. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and check that the handbrake mechanism operates freely. Hybrid battery health also demands scrutiny, as infrequent use can degrade cell balance. Examine the tyre sidewalls for flat-spotting or perishing, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and suspension bushes, which can deteriorate from standing rather than wear and tear.
