2020 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · DG20 HCC

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred brake component replacement. The most recent test in September 2025 at 49,063 miles passed despite an advisory for worn rear brake discs. This follows a pattern established in September 2024 at 40,552 miles, where both front and rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin alongside lipped front discs. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical light-use patterns, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the February 2023 test at 22,536 miles and the September 2023 test at 28,497 miles, representing a period of higher usage compared to the subsequent twelve-month intervals. Since then, the vehicle has covered roughly 20,500 miles over two years, maintaining a steady rate of mechanical wear that aligns with the wear patterns observed on the braking system. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recorded advisories have actually been addressed. The recurring mention of thin pads and worn discs across multiple tests suggests the previous owner waited until components approached failure limits before intervening rather than performing preventative maintenance. Verify the current thickness of the pad material and check the discs for glazing or uneven wear, as the history indicates a trend of thinning. Since no structural or suspension defects were recorded in the history, the focus remains entirely on these consumables and the potential state of the calipers and fluid lines.
