2021 Hyundai Kona Premium SE GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FV21 CCA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward developing component wear. While the most recent test on 13 May 2026 at 34,255 miles passed, the tester flagged the nearside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a 2025 advisory regarding a worn front arm arm rear bush, indicating that the suspension geometry is beginning to show signs of age and use. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,850 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with 10,183 miles covered between the May 2024 test at 17,684 miles and the April 2025 test at 27,867 miles, followed by another 6,388 miles leading up to the most recent inspection. This regularity suggests the car has not been left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and hydraulic components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension in person to ensure the worn rear arm bush noted in 2025 has not progressed into movement that causes uneven tyre wear. The recent advisory on the nearside front tyre also suggests a potential alignment issue or a failing shock absorber that requires verification to prevent premature replacement of rubber. Given the low overall mileage, these issues likely stem from minor material degradation or poor factors rather than catastrophic mechanical failure.
