2021 KIA Stonic Connect Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · DN21 EZX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026. The maintenance trend appears generally stable, though the latest report shows the first recorded defect after several years of clean results. While the previous two tests yielded no faults, the presence of thin front brake pads at 37,929 miles indicates the vehicle is entering a phase requiring routine consumable replacement. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-intensity usage, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year over its five-year life. Between the March 2024 test at 17,173 miles and the April 2025 test at 27,438 miles, the car covered 10,265 miles, followed by another 10,491 miles prior to the April 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation suggests regular driving rather than long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the hybrid system and suspension components. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system during a test drive. Since the 2026 test flagged thin pads, it is essential to check the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring, and ensure the calipers are not seizing. Given the low mileage, the suspension bushes and tie-arm links should be examined for signs of cracking or perishing, as-rubber components can age over time regardless of low mileage.
