2021 Hyundai Kona Electricity · FL02 NED

The 2021 Hyundai Kona is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 with only a minor advisory concerning a superficial cut on the nearside front tyre. This follows two prior passes in 2025 and 2024, indicating a stable maintenance trend overall. While tyre condition has been a recurring note—particularly edge wear approaching the legal limit in 2024—the latest test shows no critical defects, suggesting timely attention to consumables. With just 21,868 miles recorded over nearly five years, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 4,374 miles annually, which is notably low for its age. The mileage progression is consistent: from 11,301 miles in May 2024 to 15,916 in May 2025 (a 4,615-mile year), then to 21,868 by May 2026 (a 5,952-mile year). This gradual increase suggests regular but light use rather than prolonged inactivity or sudden heavy driving. The absence of advisories in 2025 and only minor tyre notes otherwise reflects a relatively clean MOT history with no red flags for major mechanical deterioration. Given the repeated focus on front tyre wear—first noted as edge wear in 2024 and later as a surface cut in 2026—a prospective buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment. Uneven or edge-biased tyre wear often points to worn suspension bushes, misaligned geometry, or imbalanced loading. Although brakes, steering, and structural components have not been flagged in any test, it remains prudent to examine brake disc condition and pad life, especially considering the car’s low annual mileage, which can sometimes lead to corrosion or binding calipers if driven mostly on short trips. Finally, while no structural corrosion or exhaust issues have appeared in the record, verifying the integrity of underbody seams, wheel arches, and rear subframe mounts during a physical inspection is advisable. Low-mileage vehicles aren’t immune to age-related degradation, particularly if stored outdoors or in damp conditions. Confirming that all fluids have been changed according to schedule—not just based on mileage—is also essential, as time-based wear affects rubber hoses, seals, and coolant regardless of distance travelled.
