2022 KIA Stonic 2 1.0L Petrol · JJ22 TAT

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. The test conducted on 24 March 2025 at 48,652 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has ensured the vehicle meets the minimum safety standards without immediate mechanical or structural failures. At a recorded mileage of 48,652 miles over four years, the vehicle averages approximately 12,163 miles per annum. This exceeds the national average for a passenger car and places higher demand on mechanical components compared to lower-mile counterparts. While the MOT history is sparse, the high mileage suggests the car has likely seen regular motorway or longdistance use, which typically accelerates the degradation of consumables such as brake pads, suspension bushings, and tyre treads. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the final test, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to high-mileage wear. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension springs and bushes for signs of premature fatigue or cracking, as the annual mileage can stress these parts. Checking the thickness of brake discs and the condition of pads is also vital to ensure the high usage has not led to uneven wear or binding calipers. The most recent MOT is now sixteen months old, meaning the vehicle is currently overdue for a new test. This gap necessitates an immediate inspection to identify any faults that have developed since the March 2025 test. Particular attention should be paid to the exhaust system for corrosion and to ensuring that the high mileage mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
