2022 Hyundai Kona Electric · FY71 YXG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT test on January 29 2026 at 17,903 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the failure in the previous year. The absence of advisories on the latest certificate suggests the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum regulatory standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,476 miles per year. Between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, the car covered only 3,310 miles, indicating infrequent use. While this low mileage typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can occasionally lead to issues such as flat-spotting tyres or surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay attention to the failure recorded on January 30, 2025, at 14,593 miles, where both the nearside and offside front tyres were below the legal 1.6mm limit. While this was rectified prior to the subsequent pass, it indicates a previous lapse in basic consumable maintenance. An in-person inspection should verify the remaining tread depth on all tyres and check for sidew cracking or age rot. Given the low usage, the inspector should also ensure the brake discs are free of heavy pitting rust and that the calipers are not seizing due to lack of use.
