2020 Hyundai Kona Play T-GDI 1.0L Petrol · GU20 CDZ

The Hyundai Kona presents a stable and largely positive maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 January 2026 at 56,900 miles. The most recent test flagged only a single advisory for a worn Nearside Front tyre, which is a minor consumable issue rather than a structural or mechanical defect. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved consecutive passes in January 2024 and February 2025 with zero defects recorded, indicating consistent upkeep across multiple test cycles. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a six-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2023 test at 27,152 miles and the January 2026 test at 56,900 miles, the car covered approximately 29,748 miles over nearly three years, averaging close to 10,000 miles annually. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of disuse or unusually aggressive driving. The annualised mileage of roughly 9,483 miles aligns well with typical UK usage patterns. The recurring advisory pattern centres exclusively on tyre wear, specifically worn edges on both the Nearside and Offside Front tyres across different test dates. This suggests the vehicle may have spent considerable time on urban or tight cornering routes, or that wheel alignment and tracking have not been periodically checked between MOT intervals. A prospective buyer should inspect the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres in person, paying close attention to uneven wear patterns that could indicate misaligned suspension geometry or worn suspension bushes. Beyond tyres, the absence of any corrosion, brake, exhaust, or structural advisories across four consecutive tests is reassuring. Still, a physical inspection should verify the condition of the front brake discs and pads, given the front axle bears the majority of braking load on a turbocharged petrol hatchback. The underbody and suspension mounting points should be checked for any early signs of corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used in coastal or salted-road environments. Overall, the record reflects a well-maintained vehicle with no serious mechanical concerns.
