2020 Hyundai Kona Electricity · WN70 FML

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing an improving maintenance trend following previous avoidable failures. The most recent test in March 2026 at 48,511 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety concerns previously raised were addressed. While the history shows instances of neglect, the clean result of the last two tests suggests the current owner is responding to MOT advisory requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the car covered 9,562 miles, representing a slight increase in annual usage compared to the 3,611 miles recorded between the September 2025 and 2026 tests. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which generally benefits components by keeping them moving without reaching extreme high-mileage stress. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the tyres, given the recurring failures related to condition. The September 2024 failure at 35,334 miles identified exposed cords on the nearside and offside rear tyres, while the September 2025 failure at the same mileage interval noted a critical tread depth issue on the offside front tyre. These faults indicate the previous owner ignored basic consumable wear until it reached legal limits. Inspect the current tyre set for uneven wear or alignment issues to ensure the suspension geometry is not contributing to premature degradation.
