Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for an electric vehicle buyer, particularly due to its relatively low mileage for its age. The recent MOT history shows no defects, suggesting a clean start to its regulatory record.
When viewing this Kona, prioritise verifying the charging history and ensuring the full manufacturer warranty remains intact, as this is a relatively new electric vehicle. Check the condition of the tyres, as 'tyre' is a common failure point for this model aggregate, and ensure the charging cables are present with the car.
Since the MOT history is limited to one successful test, you should request a digital service history to confirm that the manufacturer-recommended checks have been performed. Negotiate based on the fact that while the mileage is low, it is higher than the statistical average for this specific model group.
As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance groups rather than traditional fuel. Tax bands for EVs are currently lower, though you should check the specific band for this 2022 registration.
Maintenance costs for this Kona are expected to be lower than a petrol equivalent due to fewer moving parts, though you should budget for regular tyre replacements and cabin filter changes. Estimated annual running costs are significantly lower than internal combustion engine vehicles.
Given that 'headlamp', 'tyre', and 'windscreen washer provides' are the top failure reasons for this model aggregate, pay close attention to the clarity of the headlight lenses and the tread depth of all four tyres. Ensure the washer fluid system is fully functional.
Additionally, inspect the charging port for any signs of debris or damage and check the condition of the blue paintwork for any significant stone chips, which are common on vehicles used for motorway driving.
Registered in July 2022, this Blue Hyundai Kona SE Connect EV has covered 14,867 miles as of its July 2025 MOT. This mileage is slightly above the model aggregate average of 7,604 miles per year, but remains low for a vehicle of this age. The single recorded MOT pass in 2025 showed no defects, providing a baseline for its current mechanical status.
The Hyundai Kona EV shows an average MOT pass rate of 88.8% across 960 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to consumables like tyres and lighting.
