2020 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · EM51 SAT

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2026 at 40,977 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical and wear-related issues have been addressed. This transition from flagged defects in earlier years to a clean record suggests the current owner is proactive regarding necessary repairs. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between the May 2023 and 2024 tests, the car covered 3,016 miles, while the interval between June 2024 and April 2025 saw 1,964 miles. The most recent year recorded an increase of 6,067 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme stress or long periods, which generally preserves the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system despite the recent clean pass. The 2023 test at 29,930 miles flagged pitted front brake discs and worn tyres, while the June 2024 test noted thin rear brake pads. While these appear to be serviced, an inspector should verify the current thickness of the pads and check the discs for further scoring or uneven wear. The history of edge wear on tyres in 2023 also warrants a check of the wheel alignment to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
