2022 Hyundai Kona Electric · ML22 WUW

The vehicle presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. On 23 June 2025, at 51,791 miles, the Kona passed its MOT with zero defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable trend where the previous owner has maintained the vehicle to the minimum legal standard without triggering mechanical or structural failures during the testing process. The recorded mileage of 51,791 miles over four years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 13,000 miles. This sits slightly above the national average for a passenger car of this age, suggesting consistent motorway or commuter use rather than periods of inactivity. Because the last test took place exactly one year ago, the MOT status remains current, though the high mileage implies that wear on consumable components has progressed further than a standard vehicle. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or tearing, as frequent mileage accelerates degradation of rubber components. The braking system should also be checked for uneven pad wear or thin discs to ensure the high mileage has not led to binding calipers or warped rotor surfaces. The inspection should also include a thorough check of tyre tread depth and sidew integrity to ensure alignment remains consistent with the usage pattern. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or exhaust leaks, the chassis deserves a visual check for any fluid leaks from the drivetrain that might not have been captured during a stationary MOT test.
