2018 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · GF18 WPA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 99,047 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent failure just 13 miles prior to the pass indicates that the tester initially identified a non-conforming rear registration plate, a failed offside dipped beamlamp, and a headlamp alignment issue. These faults were rectified immediately to achieve the pass, suggesting the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once they are flagged. At nearly 100,000 miles, this Stonic has averaged approximately 12,380 miles per year, which sits above the national average for its age. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with 17,596 miles covered between the April 2023 and April 2024, and another 5,448 miles in the following nine months. This high-frequency use places significant demand on wear-related components like the suspension assembly and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should scrutinise the braking system specifically, as the January 2025 test at 94,417 miles flagged thin rear brake pads. Given the subsequent 4,600 miles driven since that advisory, a physical inspection of the remaining pad life and the condition of the rotors is necessary. The high mileage also necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as these components often reach degradation near the six-figure mark.
