2023 Hyundai Kona SE Connect GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH72 LRN

The 2023 Hyundai Kona SE Connect GDI HEV S-A presents a stable and unblemished mechanical baseline, having passed its first MOT on the 5th of September 2025 at 30,800 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean pass indicates that the vehicle met all structural, mechanical, and emissions standards at that time. As the car approaches its second MOT due date in September 2026, the maintenance trend remains firmly stable, showing no recurring faults or advisories that would suggest neglect or underlying mechanical distress. Accumulating 30,800 miles over three years equates to an annual average of roughly 10,267 miles, a figure that sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a modern hybrid. This steady accumulation points to consistent, regular driving rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessively aggressive long-distance motorway cruising. There are no alarming mileage gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data, suggesting the vehicle has been driven routinely without extended periods of inactivity that can sometimes lead to damp-related brake or tyre flat-spotting issues. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the ongoing condition of consumable and structural components. A buyer should closely examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, as hybrid vehicles often experience reduced brake usage due to regenerative braking, which can lead to surface rust on discs if the car is used predominantly for short trips. The condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs warrants attention, alongside a thorough check of the tyres for tread depth and sidewall damage. Inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the health of the hybrid battery system will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's current mechanical integrity.
