2019 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · AF19 KVM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 32,032 miles passed without major failures, though it introduced the first signs of age-related wear. Prior to this, the vehicle achieved clean sheets across four consecutive tests, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained in good condition throughout their service life. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between February 2022 at 21,070 miles and February 2023 at 27,166 miles, representing a jump of over 6,000 miles in a single year, whereas recent usage has settled into a more consistent rate of 1,500 miles annually. This low annual mileage typically indicates less mechanical stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A physical inspection should focus on the tyres, as the 2026 test flagged both front tyres and the nearside rear as starting to perish. Given the low mileage, the rubber is likely suffering from dry rot rather than tread wear, meaning the buyer should check for cracking in the sidewalls. Because the car has potentially sat for long periods, the inspector should also verify the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, which are common issues on low-use vehicles that are not driven daily.
