2020 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric · PF20 DFV

The vehicle presents a stable and largely uneventful mechanical history, culminating in a pass at the most recent test on 6 May 2026 at 41,281 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. A headlamp aim fault on the offside front was identified and rectified during the 2025 test cycle, and the subsequent May 2026 pass confirms that defect was permanently resolved rather than temporarily patched. The only advisory carried into the current ticket is a minor windscreen chip outside the driver's critical view, which poses no structural risk and does not affect the vehicle's roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent and entirely typical for a six-year-old hybrid. The record shows 11,930 miles in May 2024, jumping to 25,308 miles by May 2025, then climbing to 41,281 miles by May 2026. That equates to roughly 13,000 to 16,000 miles per year over the last two years, up from about 6,000 miles per year in the first four years of the car's life. This suggests the vehicle spent its early years as a lightly used urban runabout before transitioning to a higher-mileage commuter role. No gaps or anomalies appear in the record that would raise concern about a rolled-back odometer. A prospective buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components, given the documented headlamp aim issue. A knocked front wheel or worn suspension bushes can throw headlamp alignment out of specification, so check for uneven tyre wear and play in the front end. The windscreen stone chip noted in May 2026 should be measured and monitored; if it sits within the driver's line of sight or develops a crack, it will fail the next test. Inspect the hybrid battery's state of health and regenerative braking function, as the higher recent annual mileage means the electric drivetrain has seen significantly more cycling than the low early years suggested. Brake discs and pads deserve close attention too, particularly the rear, as hybrid vehicles often show uneven rear brake wear due to regenerative braking reducing their workload.
