2017 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · SH67 OGT

The most recent MOT passed in October 2024, but it flagged a nearside front tyre that was worn on the edge and close to the legal limit. There is a clear recurring pattern involving the nearside front tyre, which has been noted in the last three consecutive MOT tests. This repeated issue suggests that the tyre wear is likely caused by an ongoing problem rather than simple mileage. The vehicle's maintenance trend looks to be worsening. While the car had no recorded defects in 2020 and 2021, the frequency of issues regarding tyres and braking components has increased since 2022. At 70,008 miles, the vehicle has covered a typical amount of distance for its age, averaging about 7,779 miles per year. This suggests the wear on the tyres and brakes is consistent with normal, regular usage. The most important check is to inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment to identify why the nearside front tyre continues to wear unevenly.
