2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · HT18 ETJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 27 May 2026, but this followed a failure just five days prior. That failure was caused by a cut in the offside front tyre, a nail in the nearside front tyre, and rear brake discs that were significantly and obviously worn on the inner face. There is a clear and worsening pattern regarding the vehicle's braking system. The MOT history shows a consistent progression of wear to the rear brakes over several years, moving from thin pads and slightly worn or pitted discs in 2023 and 2024 to significant wear on the inner faces of the discs in 2026. This indicates that the braking components have been a recurring issue and the condition of the discs is trending downwards. The recorded mileage of 58,195 is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,274 miles per year. This level of usage suggests the car has been driven regularly, meaning the observed wear is consistent with standard mechanical aging rather than extreme heavy use or long periods of inactivity. Before purchasing, you should personally inspect the condition of the braking system, specifically checking the remaining life of the pads and the surface condition of all discs. You should also check the current condition of all tyres and the auxiliary belt to ensure previous defects have been fully resolved.
