2019 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · FL19 SVR

The 2019 Hyundai Kona presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 26 February 2026 at 21,539 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without compromise. This unblemished record across five consecutive annual tests suggests a previous owner who addressed issues proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, showing no signs of deterioration or neglect. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the low annual usage typical of a short-commuter or secondary vehicle. Between the February 2022 test at 5,694 miles and the February 2023 test at 8,617 miles, the Kona covered 2,923 miles. The following year, up to the February 2024 test at 13,082 miles, it accrued 4,465 miles. Usage then settled back to a steady rhythm, adding 4,493 miles by February 2025 at 18,575 miles, and 2,964 miles by the February 2026 test at 21,539 miles. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, confirming consistent, light use rather than long periods of inactivity followed by high-mileage bursts. Despite the flawless MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential due to the specific wear patterns associated with low-mileage vehicles. Buyers should closely examine the tyre sidewalls and tread for uneven wear or perishing, as rubber degrades with age regardless of mileage. Brake discs and pads should be checked for surface corrosion, a common issue when a car covers short distances and the friction material fails to wipe the rotors clean. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts also warrant scrutiny for deterioration caused by standing rather than driving. While the MOT record proves the Kona has passed rigorous structural and mechanical checks, verifying the condition of these age-sensitive components will confirm whether the light usage has preserved or subtly degraded the vehicle.
