2022 Hyundai Kona Premium GDI HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · TA71 TAP

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile based on the most recent MOT test on September 11, 2025. This test passed without mechanical failures, though the record notes specific advisories related to visibility and wiper components. The overall maintenance trend appears stable due to the lack of recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues, suggesting the vehicle has remained in good condition despite its age. At 10,205 miles over four years of ownership, the Kona shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,551 miles per year. This pattern indicates the car has been used sparingly or remained stationary for extended periods, which typically means less wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brakes. However, such low-usage patterns can occasionally suffer from flat-spotted tyres or minor brake disc corrosion if the vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear moisture from the rotors. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the central rear wiper assembly mentioned in the September 2025 record, as it was noted as split and requiring replacement. The tester also flagged that offside front upper items and a central upper obstruction had restricted the driver's view prior to the test, so verifying that no obstructions remain on the glasswork is essential. Given the low mileage, a physical check of the brake fluid and tyre rubber condition is recommended to ensure the age of the 2022 components has not caused degradation despite the low mileage.
