2021 Hyundai Kona Electricity · SB21 VPF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward reactive rather than proactive consumable care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 45,808 miles passed without failure, but flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates that while the car is mechanically capable of passing, the previous owner has neglected basic tyre maintenance until the MOT inspection deadline. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use modern vehicle, averaging approximately 9,160 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 29,659 miles and the 2025 test at 39,500 miles, the car covered 9,841 miles, followed by another 6,309 miles leading up to the May 2026 record. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally benefits internal seals and mechanical components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2025 record noted rear brake discs as pitted and scored, and while these were not a failure at the time, the presence of corrosion suggests periods of inactivity or harsh environmental exposure. Combined with the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2026, there is a possibility of an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that are causing premature tyre degradation. No structural corrosion or significant exhaust defects have been flagged across the records, which is a positive indicator for the vehicle's chassis integrity.
