2018 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · BV68 AAE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 May 2025 at 43,758 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes since 2023, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle effectively to prevent mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,470 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage patterns, such as 3,901 miles driven between May 2023 and May 2024, and another 4,605 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain components and engine internals, although the low annual distance can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or perished rubber seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the recent history is clean, the buyer should note the failure recorded on 11 May 2022 at 32,309 miles. Although the specific reason for that failure is not detailed in the summary, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor component was rectified quickly. An in-person inspection should focus on checking the suspension bushes and bushings for signs of cracking, which can affect older vehicles regardless of low mileage. Verifying the brake discs for surface pitting will ensure that the low usage has not resulted in excessive corrosion or binding calipers.
