Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a modern
When reviewing this vehicle, prioritise the service history to ensure maintenance intervals have been met, especially as the mileage is higher than the average for this model. Check that the tyre replacements following the May 2025 failure were of a reputable brand and that the tread depth is consistent across all four wheels.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service requirements and the higher-than-average mileage. Ensure the hybrid system's health is confirmed and check for any remaining manufacturer warranty that may apply to the battery and powertrain.
As a 1.6L hybrid electric vehicle, this Kona offers strong fuel efficiency and falls within a favourable tax band for Euro 6 AP vehicles. Insurance costs are typically moderate for the Premium trim, though this varies by driver profile.
Typical maintenance for this model involves standard hybrid servicing and periodic tyre replacements. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the May 2025 MOT failure noted a nail in the nearside rear, cracking/perishing, and exposed ply/cords on the nearside front. Verify that these have been replaced rather than patched. Also, check the windscreen wiper blades, as these were previously flagged as defective.
Referencing aggregate data for the Kona, inspect the suspension arms for any signs of wear or play, as this is a noted top failure reason for this model. A test drive should focus on the smoothness of the transition between the electric motor and the GDI engine.
This 2022 White Hyundai Kona Premium Hybrid has recorded 32,574 miles. Its MOT history includes a failure in May 2025 due to tyre damage and worn wiper blades, which was resolved immediately, followed by a clean pass in November 2025 with no defects recorded.
The Kona has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 88.1% across 9,525 analysed vehicles.
