2020 Hyundai Kona Electricity · LT70 LDK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 2024-09-18 at 12,622 miles, which passed despite a minor advisory on the nearside front tyre. The recurrence of the same advisory—slight damage to the nearside front tyre—in both the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests this is a persistent, low-severity issue rather than a sign of systemic failure, and it does not indicate a worsening trend in overall mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2020 model: only 2,897 miles were added over the full year between the September 2023 test (9,725 miles) and the September 2024 test (12,622 miles). This implies minimal annual use, consistent with light or occasional driving, possibly including extended periods of inactivity. There are no gaps in the MOT record, and no sudden mileage spikes, indicating no unexplained gaps in history or evidence of rapid wear from heavy use. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, especially the nearside front, given the repeated advisory—inspect for cuts, bulges, or embedded debris that could worsen. Although no brake, suspension, or structural defects have been flagged, the low mileage and age mean rubber components (e.g., engine mounts, brake hoses, suspension bushes) may have hardened or cracked from sitting rather than wear. A visual and physical check of these items, along with a thorough test drive to assess handling and braking feel, is recommended before purchase.
