2020 KIA Stonic 2 1.0L Petrol · HW70 NKH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening progression regarding steering component wear. The most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 41,632 miles identified slight play in both the nearside and offside track rod end ball joints. This follows an advisory from the November 2024 test at 34,792 miles for the nearside component alone, indicating that these parts have degraded over time rather than being replaced. At 41,632 miles over six years, the car averages approximately 6,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a modern small hatchback. The mileage intervals show consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,300 miles driven between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 6,800 miles leading to the most recent inspection. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of തന്നെ that could lead to seal degradation. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the track rod end play. Since the October 2023 test at 26,422 miles flagged thin front brake pads and both front tyres reaching the legal limit, it is necessary to verify that these consumables were actually replaced subsequently. The buyer should also check for uneven tyre wear, as the edge wear noted in the 2023 record often points to alignment issues that may not have been properly addressed.
