2024 Hyundai Kona Advance EV Electric · FH73 BOU

The vehicle in question, a 2024 Hyundai Kona Advance EV, currently has no recorded DVSA MOT history available. This is entirely consistent with its age and registration year, as vehicles in the United Kingdom are not legally required to undertake their first MOT test until they reach three years of age. As the vehicle is a 2024 model and today's date is September 2026, the first MOT is imminent or only very recently due, meaning there are no prior test outcomes, advisories, or failure points to analyse. Consequently, no longitudinal maintenance trend can be established from the official testing database at this time, and any assessment of its mechanical condition must rely on age-appropriate physical inspection rather than historical pass or fail data. Regarding recorded mileage, the system states that no mileage data is available, which prevents any meaningful comparison between annual usage and the vehicle's age. For a 2024 electric vehicle approaching two years of service, typical mileage accumulation could range significantly depending on whether it serves as a primary commuter car or a secondary household vehicle. Without recorded odometer readings, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle has covered low, average, or high mileage, and therefore impossible to infer any wear progression related to excessive use or to identify potential concerns associated with prolonged standing periods. Prospective buyers should verify the current odometer reading independently against the manufacturer's service schedule to ensure intervals have been correctly observed. Given the absence of MOT data and mileage records, the physical inspection must focus on time-based degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Although the vehicle is only two years old, rubber components such as tyres, wiper blades, and door seals are subject to calendar ageing regardless of use, so sidewalls should be examined for perishing, cracking, or UV degradation. Brake discs and callipers, particularly on an electric vehicle which relies heavily on regenerative braking, are prone to surface corrosion and seizing due to infrequent mechanical application, meaning the wheels should be spun to confirm free rotation without binding and the brake calliper slides should be checked for corrosion. Additionally, the 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers ancillary systems in EVs, should be tested for voltage and load capacity, as these units frequently fail prematurely irrespective of overall vehicle mileage. Fluid degradation and high-voltage system checks remain highly relevant despite the low age of the vehicle. Coolant for the thermal management system, brake fluid, and washer fluid should all be inspected for condition and replacement intervals, as brake fluid is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture within two to three years, lowering its boiling point and compromising braking performance. The high-voltage battery pack should be inspected for diagnostic trouble codes or state of health degradation using manufacturer-specific tooling, while the charging port and cables should be examined for physical damage or contamination. On a test drive, listen for any abnormal noises from the suspension over uneven surfaces, check for pulling under regenerative braking, and verify the smooth operation of all electronic driver assistance systems, ensuring the cabin and powertrain exhibit no warning messages or warning light illumination.
