2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · RO68 ULG

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to basic consumable replacement. The most recent test in September 2025 at 57,707 miles shows the car passed, yet it flagged both front tyres as worn near the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors a pattern seen in 2023 where three out of four tyres were flagged, suggesting the owner waits until components approach failure before addressing them. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per annum. The data shows steady growth, moving from 20,942 miles in 2021 to 57,707 miles in 2025. This linear usage suggests the car has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity, which can be beneficial for engine seals and rubber components. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that indicate the vehicle was off the road or missed its annual testing cycles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the recurring edge wear on the tyres in 2023 and 2025 often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The 2023 advisory regarding thin front brake pads at 42,219 miles implies the braking system should be checked for uneven wear or sticking calipers if maintenance was neglected between intervals. Since no structural corrosion or mechanical failures have appeared in the record, the mechanical integrity appears sound, provided the buyer verifies the tyres have been replaced recently.
