2019 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · GY69 TFF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 33,251 miles. While the vehicle remains compliant, the latest inspection flagged thinning rear brake pads and pitted or scored rear brake discs. This follows a recurring pattern of brake-related advisories, as the tester similarly noted scored rear discs during the 6 June 2024 test at 22,951 miles. The mileage progression indicates very light usage, averaging approximately 4,750 miles per year. The vehicle recorded 14,934 miles in June 2022 and has climbed to 33,251 miles by May 2026. This low annual mileage explains the specific types of wear observed. Rather than heavy mechanical fatigue, the record shows degradation consistent with a vehicle that spends significant time stationary, particularly regarding rubber components. The MOT history highlights a consistent trend of tyre perishing. From May 2023 at 19,238 miles through to May 2025 at 29,128 miles, the tester repeatedly flagged cracking or perishing on the front tyres. The 31 May 2023 test also identified a perishing auxiliary belt. These findings suggest that while the vehicle is not driven heavily, the age of the rubber components is a primary concern due to environmental degradation rather than tread wear. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking the condition of the rear discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing a failure point. Given the history of perishing rubber, a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls, the auxiliary belt, and any secondary rubber hoses is necessary. The low mileage suggests the drivetrain may be in good condition, but the owner should verify that the lack of regular use has not led to seized calipers or other age-related deterioration in the suspension components.
