2021 Hyundai Kona Premium T-GDI Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SA71 DXK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 15 August 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from September 2024, indicating a very stable maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded failures or advisory notes suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that there are no systemic mechanical issues or accelerating wear patterns currently flagged by the DVSA. With a recorded mileage of 44,973 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,995 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for this class of vehicle, suggesting a balanced operational history. Mechanically, this mileage implies that the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems have experienced moderate wear and tear, avoiding the extreme degradation seen in high-mileage examples while also avoiding the risks of stagnation associated with very low-use vehicles. Given the clean MOT history, the prospective buyer should focus on time-based maintenance and physical wear that may not trigger an MOT failure. It is essential to verify the service book for consistent oil and filter changes, as the T-GDI engine and mild-hybrid system require strict adherence to service intervals to ensure long-term reliability. The buyer should carefully inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. During the test drive, the buyer should listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can begin to show wear around this mileage. It is also advisable to check for any brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, the health of the 12V auxiliary battery should be confirmed, as the efficiency of the mild-hybrid energy recovery and start-stop systems is heavily dependent on a healthy electrical foundation.
