2022 KIA Stonic GT-Line S ISG Mhev S-A 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · HG22 AEP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 24 July 2025 at 28,188 miles , confirms it passed without any defects or advisories, indicating a clean record for this test cycle. Given the lack of prior MOT data, there is no historical trend to assess for worsening or improving conditions. However, the absence of recurring faults in the single available record suggests no immediate cause for concern regarding structural integrity or major mechanical failures. That said, the vehicle’s age—just under four years—combined with the relatively modest mileage, means some wear items will require closer scrutiny during an in-person inspection. The recorded mileage of 28,188 miles over approximately three and a half years (from the 2022 registration to the 2025 MOT) equates to an average of around 7,000 miles per year , which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no gaps in the MOT history to suggest prolonged neglect, nor is there evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that might indicate excessive wear on suspension, brakes, or drivetrain components. However, the sparse data means no long-term maintenance patterns—such as consistent servicing or deferred upkeep—can be confirmed or ruled out. Given the limited MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection focusing on suspension components , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , which are prone to wear in MHEV hybrids due to added weight. The front and rear brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as hybrid systems can exacerbate brake fade over time. Exhaust emissions —though not flagged in the MOT—should be monitored for unusual smoke or catalytic converter clogging, especially given the vehicle’s age. Finally, corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody should be examined, as early signs of rust can compromise structural integrity if left unaddressed. The lack of advisories in the MOT does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
