2021 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GC21 WOB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of minor rectification. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 August 2025 at 26,093 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety-critical systems previously identified were addressed. This transition from a failure to a clean pass suggests the owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet regulatory standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,219 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 19,807 miles and the August 2025 test at 26,093 miles, the car covered 6,286 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and suspension components, the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to brake corrosion or the degradation of rubber-based components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The failure on 5 August 2024 at 19,807 miles remains the only point of concern in the history, though the specific defect was not detailed in the summary. A buyer should verify that the specific cause of that failure was properly repaired and not merely masked. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on checking for minor surface rust on the brake discs and calipers, which often occurs on infrequently driven hybrids. Additionally, checking the condition of the tyres and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in age-related material hardening.
