2018 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · AJ18 WHM

The 2018 Kia Stonic presents a stable and sound roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 55,087 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the vehicle's eight-year MOT history. Annual mileage averages 6,886 against the recorded 55,087 miles, which is typical for the age. The owner accumulated 7,866 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, then 9,440 miles to the 2025 test, a steady light-use pattern with no sudden accumulation spikes. The records are sparse in detail, showing only passes and a duplicate 6 August 2022 entry at 31,633 miles where one test failed yet logged no defects, suggesting an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age, as the MOT record does not capture wear below failure thresholds. The clean history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, with no skipped tyre or wiper replacements flagged. No structural corrosion, exhaust emission breaches, or binding calipers appear in the data. The Stonic stands as a low-risk used purchase on paper, though pre-purchase checks on underbody integrity remain prudent for any eight-year-old vehicle.
