2018 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · FE18 HPY

The Kia Stonic presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, with a clean pass recorded on 2025-07-07 at 65,211 miles and no defects listed. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns. A prior failure on the same date at identical mileage with no defects recorded points to an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,151 miles per year against the 65,211 miles recorded. The tests show steady accumulation: 39,431 miles on 2022-09-10, 51,735 on 2023-07-24, 58,716 on 2024-07-09, and 65,211 on 2025-07-07. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 entries spans over ten months, yet only added 12,304 miles, indicating light use rather than neglect. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by a fault-free MOT. Check brake disc thickness, coil spring condition, and suspension arm bushes for age-related fatigue not yet at failure threshold. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for early corrosion, given the vehicle has now entered its eighth year. The duplicate 2025-07-07 entries with a fail and pass at matching mileage warrant confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal reflect a single valid certificate. Beyond that administrative check, the Stonic's history implies conscientious prior ownership with no skipped tests or deferred maintenance.
