2018 Hyundai Kona 1.6L Petrol · VU18 WRO

The 2018 Hyundai Kona demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-24 at 62,480 miles resulting in a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2023 to 2024 also showed consistent passes, though a 2024-05-20 failure at 55,178 miles recorded no defects, suggesting a possible administrative anomaly. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns are evident from the record, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The mileage of 62,480 miles over eight years aligns with an average of 7,810 miles annually, reflecting moderate usage. Gaps between tests, such as the 12,895-mile increase between 2023-05-31 (42,064 miles) and 2024-05-20 (55,179 miles), suggest irregular servicing intervals, though no defects were flagged during those periods. The 2024-05-20 failure at 55,178 miles, coinciding with a near-identical mileage to the subsequent pass, raises questions about the test’s accuracy but does not indicate systemic issues. A buyer should verify the current MOT status, as the last test expired in May 2025, and confirm the vehicle’s compliance with emissions and safety standards. While no defects were recorded, the absence of detailed notes on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion means a physical inspection is necessary. Pay particular attention to the exhaust system, as emissions compliance can degrade over time, and check for signs of uneven tyre wear, which might indicate alignment or suspension problems not captured in the MOT data.
