2018 Hyundai Kona 1.0L Petrol · SH68 EKB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 12 December 2025 at 43,849 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last three years, suggesting the previous owners maintained the car to a standard that prevented common mechanical or structural failures flagged during DVSA inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage patterns, such as the 5,125-mile interval between February 2024 and January 2025, though the 1,093-mile gap between October 2022 and February 2023 suggests the car was perhaps used only for short trips or remained stationary during that specific period. This low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and places less stress on suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts due to inactivity. While the MOT record is immaculate, a buyer should perform a physical inspection for issues associated with low-mileage vehicles. Specifically, check for cracking on tyre sidewalls and perished wiper blades which occur when a car sits for long periods. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the calipers from cleaning effectively. Since the record shows no advisories for suspension bushes or exhaust corrosion, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a visual check of the underbody remains necessary to confirm the absence of hidden rust.
