Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus your negotiation on the brake disc advisories from the January 2026 MOT; as they were noted as worn, they are likely nearing the end of their usable life. Request the full service history to ensure the mild-hybrid (MHEV) system and engine have been serviced according to manufacturer intervals.
Given the recorded bumper damage, inspect the front end carefully to ensure the impact was purely cosmetic and did not affect any sensors or the structural integrity of the lower valence. Ensure all electronic features of the SE Connect trim are fully operational.
The 998cc T-GDI MHEV engine is designed for efficiency, benefiting from Euro 6 AP compliance and hybrid assistance to keep fuel costs low. Insurance groups for the Kona are typically moderate, and the hybrid powertrain helps maintain a competitive road tax bracket.
Typical maintenance for this model is straightforward, though the MHEV system requires specific technician knowledge. Expect annual running costs to be influenced primarily by fuel and insurance, with a modest budget required for wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes.
Prioritise an inspection of the front braking system, specifically the discs, as the MOT history explicitly flagged them as worn. Check the nearside front lower bumper to evaluate the extent of the recorded damage and whether a professional repair is required.
Additionally, check the tyres and suspension arms, as these are among the top failure reasons for this model across aggregate MOT data. Ensure there are no unusual knocks or vibrations from the front end during a test drive.
This 2022 Grey Hyundai Kona SE Connect T-GDI MHEV has recorded 19,441 miles, which is below the average for this model. Its MOT history shows a pass in January 2026, although the test highlighted wear on both front brake discs and damage to the nearside front lower bumper.
The Hyundai Kona demonstrates a solid reliability profile with an average MOT pass rate of 88.6% across 2,992 analysed vehicles.
