2020 Hyundai Kona 1.6L Petrol · RS20 SEV

The 2020 Hyundai Kona currently holds a valid MOT issued on 21 May 2026 at 13,281 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean pass came just two days after a failure on 19 May 2026 for high Lambda readings and a suspected exhaust leak, suggesting the emissions fault was rectified promptly. The overall maintenance trend is stable and recently improving, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures across the full history. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,214 miles per year. The car covered 1,109 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, then 3,625 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, before recording only 2,571 miles in the most recent twelve-month interval ending May 2026. There are no gaps in the annual test record, and the incremental accumulation appears consistent with light, regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The history contains no structural corrosion, suspension, braking, or drivetrain defects. The only recurring theme is minor windscreen damage noted in both 2024 and 2025, each assessed as not affecting the driver's view. A nearside front tyre advisory appeared in 2023 for a sidewall cut and again in 2024 for outer sidewall damage, indicating that wheel and tyre condition warrants close inspection. A prospective buyer should examine the exhaust system thoroughly around the manifold, catalytic converter, and joints for any signs of repair following the May 2026 emissions failure. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components should be checked physically given the low mileage, as infrequent use can cause sticking calipers and surface corrosion on brake discs despite the absence of recorded defects.
