2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · SA68 AEN

The 2018 Hyundai Kona demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-08-21 at 25,685 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance pattern. No advisories or failures were noted across the eight-year span, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. This stability implies no emerging mechanical or structural risks, though low mileage may limit exposure to long-term wear. The vehicle’s mileage of 25,685 miles over eight years equates to approximately 3,211 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can affect components like tyres, fluids, and electrical systems. MOT tests were conducted annually, with mileage increments of 1,783 to 2,500 miles between checks. The absence of gaps in testing indicates routine compliance, but the low mileage may mask wear in high-mileage components such as brake discs or suspension bushes. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these can degrade without triggering MOT failures. Corrosion in underbody panels and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as low mileage may not expose these areas to typical stress. The vehicle’s consistent passing record is positive, but its age and mileage profile warrant a thorough mechanical review to confirm no hidden deterioration has occurred.
