Our Verdict
A reasonable option for an electric vehi
When inspecting this specific Kona, your primary focus should be the braking system. The March 2026 MOT record explicitly mentions that both front and rear brake discs are heavily pitted on the inner facings. You should check if the brake pads have been replaced alongside these discs, as pitted discs can quickly wear down new pads.
Given the higher-than-average mileage, check the condition of the suspension components and the integrity of the charging port. While the 2024 and 2023 MOTs showed no defects, the recent brake and tyre issues suggest a need for closer scrutiny of wear-and-tear items. Always verify the remaining battery health/warranty status, as this is a high-mileage electric vehicle.
As an all-electric vehicle, fuel costs are determined by your electricity tariff rather than petrol prices, typically offering lower running costs per mile. The insurance group for a 2019 Kona will vary based on driver profile, but it is generally competitive for its class.
Maintenance costs for this model often involve fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines, but the MOT history shows that tyres and brakes remain regular maintenance requirements. Expect annual running costs, including insurance, tax (which is currently £0 for EVs in many contexts, though subject to change), and maintenance, to sit in a moderate range.
Specifically address the findings from the March 2026 MOT; the front and rear brake discs are recorded as being worn, pitted, or scored. Ensure a mechanic inspects the thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers.
Additionally, review the tyre history. The vehicle has had issues with tyres wearing close to the legal limit or on the edges in both 2022 and 2025. This could indicate alignment issues or simply high usage, so check the current tread depth and ensure the steering is straight when driving.
This 2019 red Hyundai Kona Electric has covered 56,728 miles since its first registration in May 2019. While the vehicle has passed all its MOT tests, the most recent inspection in March 2026 highlighted significant pitting on both front and rear brake discs. The mileage is notably higher than the aggregate model average of 7,934 miles per year.
The Hyundai Kona shows an 89.5% average MOT pass rate across 31,224 analysed vehicles, with common failures relating to tyres and lighting.
