2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · RO18 ADZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 61,373 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2023, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,672 miles per year. The accumulation is steady, with 6,120 miles added between March 2025 and March 2026, and 6,000 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden degradation from standing. The record shows a single failure on 13 March 2025 at 55,263 miles, though the tester recorded no specific defects in the provided data. This suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue, as the vehicle passed its retest eight days later on 21 March 2025 with the same mileage. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion over the last three years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and suggests a high standard of preventative care. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that do not always trigger MOT failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean MOT history does not guarantee these have been replaced recently. Inspect the underbody for any early signs of surface corrosion, which is a standard check for a 2018 model regardless of a clean test sheet.
