Petrol against the other Hyundai Kona versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 90.3% | 14,733 |
| Electric | 91.7% | 11,133 |
| All Hyundai Kona | 90.9% | 26,025 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the Hyundai Kona specifically, electric is the strongest at 91.7%, and this petrol version sits 0.6 points below the 90.9% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Hyundai Kona had covered 35,548 miles at test, against 36,418 for the electric. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Hyundai Kona page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
