2020 Hyundai Kona Electricity · LX70 XYK

The vehicle remains legally roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of neglect regarding basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 52,096 miles flagged a defective offside front wiper blade and a nearside tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of tyre-related failures suggests that the owner only addresses issues when prompted by an MOT rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile averages to approximately 8,683 miles per year over six years, which aligns with typical national averages for a modern small SUV. There is a significant jump in usage between August 2024 at 32,979 miles and August 2025 at 52,096 miles, representing nearly 19,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation of mileage likely explains the accelerated wear observed on the front tyres, which showed signs of edge wear and perishing across the last three annual tests. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment settings, as the record repeatedly notes tyres worn on the edge in both 2024 and 2025. This pattern often indicates incorrect geometry or worn suspension bushes that will cause premature tyre degradation. The buyer should also verify the condition of the remaining tyres for perishing, as the history shows a pattern of rubber aging that suggests the vehicle may sit for extended periods or uses low-quality rubber components.
