2021 Hyundai Kona Electricity · LT71 ONC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 28 August 2025 at 117,421 miles passed despite two advisories for poor tyre condition and damage. While the vehicle met the legal requirements, the presence of an inner-edge worn offside rear tyre suggests an alignment or suspension issue that has not been addressed. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging over 23,000 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 89,677 miles and the August 2025 test, the car covered 27,744 miles in just eleven months. This rapid accumulation indicates heavy motorway use, which places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking system components compared to an average-use Kona. A physical inspection must prioritize the wheel geometry and suspension components due to the inner edge wear noted on the offside rear. The buyer should also examine the nearside front tyre for further structural damage beyond the minor cut recorded in the 2025 test. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the brake disc thickness and the integrity of the shock absorbers is essential to ensure the vehicle has not reached the end of its primary service life.
