Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
The primary point for negotiation is the tyre condition. The MOT history shows a trend of running tyres to their legal limit, with advisories in 2024 and a failure in 2025 regarding the front tyres, followed by a 2026 advisory for the offside rear. Check if the current tyres are premium EV-specific brands, as these are better suited to the vehicle's weight.
Beyond the tyres, ensure you have a full service history record. While electric vehicles have fewer moving parts, regular checks on the coolant system and brake fluid are essential for a 2019 model. Verify the presence and condition of the original charging cables.
As an electric vehicle, this Kona offers significantly lower 'fuel' costs compared to internal combustion alternatives. Maintenance is generally lower due to the absence of oil changes and exhaust systems, though tyre replacement costs can be higher for EVs.
Insurance groups for the Kona Electric are typically moderate, and it currently benefits from the tax advantages associated with zero-emission vehicles. Typical annual expenses will be dominated by electricity and insurance.
Carefully inspect the offside rear tyre for the cut and inside-edge wear noted in the April 2026 MOT; this may suggest a wheel alignment issue that needs correcting. Check all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this has been a recurring issue throughout the vehicle's history.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clouding or failure, as headlamps are one of the top three MOT failure reasons for this model. Test the charging port and the operation of the charging cable to ensure there is no physical damage or connectivity issues.
This red 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric has recorded 41,247 miles, which is below the model average of 7,934 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a recurring theme of tyre wear, including a failure in April 2025 for exposed ply and cords on the offside front tyre. Despite this, the vehicle aligns with the Kona's aggregate MOT pass rate of 89.5%, showing no major mechanical failures.
The Hyundai Kona demonstrates strong reliability across the UK fleet, with an average MOT pass rate of 89.5% based on 31,224 vehicles.
