2021 KIA STONIC 21.0L Petrol

The car passed its most recent MOT on 19 May 2026 at 63,945 miles. The tester noted rear brake discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, rear brake pads wearing thin and both rear tyres slightly damaged or cracking. Compared with the June 2025 test where all four tyres showed similar cracking, the tyre issue is now limited to the rear axle while brake wear has emerged, indicating a worsening trend in mechanical condition. Mileage has risen sharply since the May 2024 test at 27,267 miles. By June 2025 the odometer read 43,478 miles, an increase of about 16,200 miles in roughly thirteen months. The latest reading of 63,945 miles in May 2026 adds another 20,460 miles in just eleven months, pushing the annual average well above twelve thousand miles and suggesting increased use in the last year. A buyer should examine the rear brake discs for scoring or pitting and measure pad thickness to confirm they remain within service limits. Inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, paying particular attention to the rear set flagged in the last two tests. Check the front suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as high mileage can accelerate deterioration in those areas. Finally, test the windscreen wipers and washers to ensure the blade defect noted in May 2024 has been resolved.
