2022 Hyundai Kona SE Connect GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · NV22 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT in February 2026. While the 2025 test showed no defects, the most recent inspection at 11,753 miles indicates a worsening maintenance trend regarding the front suspension. The tester identified wear on both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins or bushes, suggesting that components are beginning to degrade despite the vehicle's low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,938 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 6,075 miles and the February 2026 test at 11,753 miles, the car covered 5,678 miles in eleven months. This pattern suggests infrequent use or long periods of standing, which can sometimes lead to the premature hardening of rubber components and seals, as evidenced by the early wear seen in the latest MOT record. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly to ensure the worn arm bushes have not progressed toward excessive movement. Since the tester noted wear that did not fail the test, these parts are likely at the start of their failure but require monitoring to prevent future handling issues or uneven tyre wear. You should also verify the internal headlight adjuster is functioning correctly, as the previous test required an adjustment to meet the beam angle standards.
