2019 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · HS19 TZR

The 2019 Hyundai Kona presents a completely clean MOT record with zero advisories or failures across all five tests. The most recent examination on 7 January 2026 at 26,692 miles passed with no defects whatsoever, and every preceding test back to May 2022 shows the same outcome. This is an exceptionally rare pattern. The maintenance trend is unambiguously stable, with no recurring faults, no emerging wear items, and no deterioration visible in the official record. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of low annual use. Between the first test on 9 May 2022 at 3,448 miles and the latest on 7 January 2026 at 26,692 miles, the car covered 23,244 miles across nearly four years, averaging roughly 5,800 miles per year. The increments between tests are steady: 4,731 miles in the first year, 7,464 miles in the second, 4,838 miles in the third, and 6,213 miles in the final period. There are no sudden jumps suggesting long motorway hauls, nor suspiciously small gaps that might indicate the vehicle sat unused for extended periods. The odometer progression is smooth and believable. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on components that MOT tests only sample. With such low annual mileage, the exhaust system and catalytic converter may have suffered from repeated short trips that prevent full operating temperature, potentially causing moisture accumulation and internal corrosion not visible during a stationary emissions check. The tyres and brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion and uneven wear consistent with prolonged standing. Suspension bushes and shock absorbers can perish from age and lack of use rather than mileage, so look for perishing rubber and weeping dampers. The underbody and sills need close attention for early-stage corrosion, particularly around mounting points and drain holes, as low-mileage vehicles often spend long periods parked in damp conditions. The clean MOT history is a strong positive indicator, but age-related degradation can develop silently between annual tests.
