2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · SB18 KME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on April 3 2026 at 52,897 miles was a pass, it followed an immediate failure due to a fractured offside front coil spring and tyre wear. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, which can lead to secondary component degradation between tests. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a clear gap of 15,968 miles between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 16,422 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This steady annual usage suggests the car is used for regular commuting, yet the recurring MOT failures related to tyres and suspension indicate that consumables are being pushed to their absolute limits before being replaced during the annual inspection. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the fractured coil spring in 2026 often causes uneven stress on the control arm bushes and轮胎. The repeated advisories for tyres worn to the legal limit in both 2025 and 2026 suggest a potential alignment issue or simply a failure to monitor tread depth between intervals. Additionally, verify the nearside front fog lamp was actually replaced following the failure in April 2025, and check the current tyres for signs of uneven wear that might indicate a tracking-related fault.
