2021 Hyundai Kona Electricity · VE71 HBZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a persistent failure to address tyre geometry. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 45,876 miles passed, it returned with advisories for the offside front and offside rear tyres showing uneven wear on the inner edges. This mirrors a failure in December 2024 where the nearside front tyre was flagged for being close to the legal limit. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,175 miles per year. The interval of 11,645 miles between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests shows regular usage rather than long periods of inactivity. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used as a primary driver, which generally prevents mechanical components like brakes from seizing, though the recurring tyre-related issues suggest that the owner has prioritised MOT compliance over proactive mechanical maintenance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension components and steering geometry. The recurring pattern of wear on the inner edges of multiple tyres suggests a significant alignment issue, worn suspension bushes, or faulty control arms. The failure in 2024 regarding headlamp aim also indicates that the vehicle may have suffered impacts or significant vibrations that were not properly rectified. Check the current tyre tread profiles for further uneven wear to ensure the vehicle is not rapidly consuming a new set of rubber.
