2018 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · GD18 MHU

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 11 June 2025 at 31,266 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 3,908 miles per year. The accumulation has been remarkably steady, increasing by approximately 3,700 to 4,000 miles between each annual test from 20,226 miles in June 2022 to 31,266 miles in June 2025. This linear progression suggests regular, light usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which reduces the risk of perished seals or seized calipers. The record shows a single failure on 8 June 2023 at 23,839 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day. The absence of any recorded defects during that failure is unusual but suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a mechanical deficiency. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion across the entire history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that degrade with age regardless of mileage. Check the tyre date codes for perishing and inspect the brake fluid condition. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage means the engine has not been stressed, so verifying the oil change intervals against the service book is the only remaining priority.
