2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · FL68 CGE

The Hyundai Kona presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 40,306 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of five consecutive annual passes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical issues across the full recorded history. Annual mileage averages just over 5,000 miles against an eight-year lifespan, confirming light use. The records trace a steady climb: 21,857 miles in February 2022, 25,807 in February 2023, 30,402 in February 2024, 35,790 in February 2025, and 40,306 in February 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. Each test fell within a tight February window, suggesting the previous owner adhered to a disciplined servicing schedule. The clean MOT sequence leaves no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion for the buyer to chase. A five-year fault-free record implies conscientious upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Low standing mileage, however, can mask perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres invisible to the tester. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm underbody condition for surface rust, check brake calipers for binding after prolonged idle periods, and verify tyre sidewall integrity. The DVSA data supports confidence, but physical verification remains sound practice on any used vehicle.
