2023 Hyundai Kona Ultimate EV Electric · LA72 ABW

The Hyundai Kona Ultimate EV presented a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent DVSA test on 24 September 2025. The examiner passed the vehicle at 13,085 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. With only this single examination on file, the maintenance trend shows a stable, fault-free baseline rather than any worsening or resolving pattern. Registered in 2023, the car required its first MOT at three years of age, which the owner submitted on 24 September 2025. The odometer read 13,085 miles, equating to an average annual distance of roughly 4,362 miles. This low mileage for a three-year-old vehicle indicates light commuting or extended periods out of service. The official record contains no earlier entries, so no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear beyond the norm for a young EV. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent MOT faults. The tester recorded no concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet standing vehicles often develop surface rust on brake components and flat spots on tyres. The purchaser must check the condition of the 12-volt battery, inspect the braking system for any binding calipers after prolonged inactivity, and verify tyre tread and sidewall integrity. The EV drivetrain demands scrutiny of coolant lines and high-voltage isolation, items outside MOT scope but critical to longevity.
