2022 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG72 YBO

The vehicle presents a stable and highly favourable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 11 March 2026 at 18,222 miles. A peculiar anomaly exists in the record for that same date, showing a failed test at 18,221 miles with no recorded defects. This likely indicates an aborted test or an administrative error rather than a mechanical fault, given the immediate clean pass that followed. The absence of any advisories or defects across the entire history demonstrates a robust mechanical condition and consistent upkeep. The trend is entirely stable, showing no recurring mechanical or structural deterioration. At roughly four years old, the recorded mileage equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 4,556 miles, which is notably low. The chronological data reveals a steady, incremental progression rather than sudden spikes. Between the October 2024 test at 7,588 miles and the March 2025 test at 9,011 miles, the vehicle covered just over 1,400 miles in five months. The subsequent jump to 18,222 miles by March 2026 indicates a significant increase in usage over the past year, accumulating over 9,000 miles. This shift from very light use to more regular driving suggests the previous owner recently changed their driving patterns, or the vehicle spent extended periods stationary. Despite the pristine MOT record, the low-mileage profile and the recent surge in usage warrant a focused physical inspection. Prolonged periods of standing can cause flat-spotting on tyres and corrosion on brake discs, so a thorough check of the tyre sidewalls for perishing and the brake rotors for surface rust is essential. The hybrid battery system requires particular attention; a vehicle sitting idle for long stretches can suffer from cell imbalance or reduced regenerative braking efficiency. Inspect the 12V auxiliary battery terminals for corrosion and test the hybrid battery's state of health. Suspension bushes and coil springs may also exhibit premature deterioration if the vehicle was frequently parked on uneven surfaces or left loaded in a static position.
