2021 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · KW70 AEO

The 2021 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its three most recent MOT tests. The latest assessment on 2026-02-16 at 51,764 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with the clean records from 2025-02-17 (35,933 miles) and 2024-02-20 (25,370 miles). No advisories or failures indicate consistent maintenance, suggesting the vehicle has been operated within typical parameters. The absence of recurring issues across these tests implies no emerging mechanical or structural concerns requiring immediate attention. Mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with annual averages of approximately 10,353 miles over five years. The gap between 2024-02-20 (25,370 miles) and 2025-02-17 (35,933 miles) reflects a 10,563-mile rise, followed by a 15,831-mile jump to 51,764 miles by 2026-02-16. While the latter period’s higher mileage could signal increased usage, the lack of associated defects in the MOT records suggests no immediate wear-related risks. The vehicle’s service history, though limited to MOT data, shows no signs of neglect or accelerated deterioration. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without visible indicators. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant inspection for binding or uneven wear, as these often develop gradually. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be confirmed, as minor faults in these areas may not trigger MOT failures but could affect long-term reliability. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOT history is positive, but a physical check for rust in chassis seams or underbody panels is advisable.
