Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this specific Kona, your primary focus should be on the tyres and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of tyre wear, edge wear, and even structural damage (cuts reaching the cords). Ask the seller for evidence of recent tyre replacements and check if any wheel alignment (tracking) was performed following the 2025 failure.
Given this is an electric vehicle, ensure you verify the health of the high-voltage battery through a dedicated diagnostic tool, as MOT records do not cover battery degradation. Check the charging cables are present and inspect the charging port for any signs of wear or debris. You should also request documentation of any service history to supplement the MOT data provided.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance. This model typically falls into a moderate insurance group, though specific rates depend on the driver's profile. Tax is currently zero for pure electric vehicles in the UK, though changes to EV taxation may apply in the future.
Maintenance costs for this Kona should be lower than a petrol equivalent due to fewer moving parts, but the MOT history suggests tyre replacement will be a regular expense. Based on the recorded mileage and tyre issues, expect to budget more frequently for rubber and suspension checks. Estimated annual running costs are roughly £900-£1,200, including electricity and routine maintenance.
The MOT history for RO69JMX highlights specific areas of concern. First, inspect all four tyres thoroughly; the 2024 and 2026 records specifically mention tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This could indicate an alignment issue that needs addressing.
Secondly, look closely at the rear tyres. The 2025 failure was caused by cuts in both the nearside and offside rear tyres reaching the ply/cords. Inspect the sidewalls for any signs of previous repairs or impact damage. Finally, ensure the seatbelts are fully functional and unobstructed, as the 2026 MOT noted a child seat was preventing a full inspection of the nearside rear adult belt.
This 2019 white Hyundai Kona Electric has covered 55,169 miles since its first registration in October 2019. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre-related failures and advisories, including a failure in July 2025 due to cuts in both rear tyres. While the most recent test in July 2026 was a pass, it noted a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit.
The Hyundai Kona model shows an average MOT pass rate of 89.4% across 31,232 analysed vehicles, with tyres being a primary reason for failure.
