2018 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · FN18 WEW

The 2018 Kia Stonic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 48,306 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also logged a failure with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or pre-check rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2025, 2024, and 2023 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing the vehicle has avoided recurring wear-related issues across its recorded history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,038 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 25,117 miles in February 2023, 29,289 in February 2024, 35,796 in January 2025, and 48,306 by February 2026. The jump of over 12,500 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests is the largest single-year gain, yet still within normal bounds and not suggestive of neglect or excessive commercial use. The absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across five consecutive tests implies the previous keeper maintained the car to a reasonable standard. No binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns appear in the data. A clean MOT lineage of this kind usually reflects light urban use and timely consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for hidden corrosion and verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds when marginally worn. Given the clean record, focus the viewing on confirming the 2026 failure was purely procedural and that no undisclosed accident repair affects alignment or chassis geometry.
