2022 KIA Stonic GT-Line S ISG Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV22 UPN

The 2022 Kia Stonic GT-Line S presents a stable and unblemished mechanical record, reflecting a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring faults. The most recent MOT test on 2 May 2025 at 24,601 miles resulted in a clean pass with zero defects recorded, indicating that all structural and mechanical systems met the required safety standards at that time. However, with the current date in July 2026, the vehicle is now overdue for its next annual assessment, meaning a fresh evaluation is required to confirm its ongoing roadworthiness. With no advisories or failures noted in the available data, the maintenance trend remains firmly stable, suggesting the previous owner kept the car in sound running order without ignoring developing issues. The mileage pattern aligns closely with typical light-use driving for a vehicle of this age. Accumulating roughly 6,150 miles per year, the Stonic sits well below the national average, which generally points to short, local journeys rather than high-mileage motorway commuting. The single MOT entry at 24,601 miles in May 2025 confirms this steady accumulation, showing no sudden spikes in usage or alarming gaps in the testing record that might indicate the vehicle was laid up for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components that degrade with age and low mileage rather than just wear. Short trips can cause premature corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components, so a buyer should inspect the condition of the brake discs for surface rust and check the exhaust system for early signs of corrosion. Suspension bushes and tyres should also be examined for perishing or cracking, as a car covering low annual mileage often suffers from rubber component deterioration rather than mechanical wear.
