2019 Hyundai Kona 1.6L Petrol · T1 DMR

The 2019 Hyundai Kona presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-03-02 assessment at 21,589 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s compliance history suggests it has been well-kept, with no recurring faults or escalating risks identified in the recorded data. The mileage of 21,589 miles over seven years equates to approximately 3,084 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with each test occurring roughly 3,000 miles apart, reflecting a predictable usage pattern. No gaps in testing or sudden mileage spikes are evident, which reduces the likelihood of undetected wear from prolonged inactivity or excessive use. The absence of defects in all tests further supports the conclusion that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade over time without triggering MOT failures. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for hidden corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop gradually. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure, warrant scrutiny. While the MOT history is clean, these elements require physical examination to confirm they remain within safe limits, given the vehicle’s low mileage and potential for long-term storage.
