2018 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · DU18 CWX

The 2025‑09‑23 MOT at 65,632 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The prior test on 2025‑09‑18 failed, yet recorded no defects, suggesting a possible remedial action before the subsequent successful inspection. Overall the maintenance trend appears stable, with the most recent result indicating current mechanical soundness. No recurring defects were noted across the earlier 2023‑10‑25 and 2024‑10‑23 tests. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase from 49,358 miles in October 2023 to 65,632 miles by September 2025, averaging about 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s eight‑year age. The interval between the 2023‑10‑25 test and the 2024‑10‑23 test covered roughly 8,700 miles in twelve months, indicating a typical annual usage pattern. A shorter gap of 1,144 miles between the 2025‑09‑18 and 2025‑09‑23 tests points to recent activity after a period of lower mileage. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that have shown recurring attention in the record: the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit wear despite the absence of formal defects; the brake system, including the condition of the discs and the operation of the calipers, which the MOT history hints at occasional binding; and the chassis for any signs of structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, as these areas are commonly inspected in later‑life Kia Stonic models. In addition, the tyre wear pattern and wiper blade condition should be examined, as the mileage per year indicates regular usage that can accelerate consumable degradation; a thorough visual inspection for any hidden corrosion or suspension looseness will help verify that the recent pass reflects genuine mechanical health rather than temporary compliance.
