2021 KIA Stonic Connect Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · NV70 AEZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-08 at 27,443 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2024-10-02 and 2023-09-23 also passed without issues, though one entry on 2024-10-02 incorrectly listed a failure with no defects recorded. This inconsistency may reflect administrative errors but does not signal mechanical concerns. Overall, the maintenance trend shows no recurring faults, with all tests passing in the last three years. The vehicle’s mileage of 27,443 miles at five years old equates to approximately 5,489 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. A gap between 2023-09-23 (17,465 miles) and 2024-10-02 (21,438 miles) suggests a 4,000-mile increase over 13 months, followed by a 6,000-mile rise by 2025-10-08. This pattern implies intermittent use, which could affect components like the battery, brakes, and suspension if the car was parked for extended periods. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the record is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for dry-rotted bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can accelerate wear in stationary conditions. The battery and electrical systems, particularly in a hybrid model, warrant attention due to potential degradation from infrequent use. While no mechanical faults were recorded, the lack of detailed advisories in the MOT history means the vehicle’sTrue condition may require a hands-on assessment, especially for hidden issues like exhaust leaks or brake disc warping.
