2018 KIA Stonic 1.6L Diesel · LC18 VCK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 20 August 2025 at 66,785 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean sheets across the last five years suggests a stable maintenance trend where the owner has proactively addressed the mechanical and safety requirements of the vehicle without encountering recurring failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,350 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 22,742 miles and June 2024 at 57,321 miles, the car covered over 34,000 miles, indicating steady regular use rather than periods of neglect. The 9,464 miles recorded between the June 2024 and August 2025 tests maintain this annual profile, which helps prevent the seal and fluid issues often associated with long-term stationary. Since the MOT record shows no flagged issues with suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that falls outside the MOT testing parameters. A buyer should verify the condition of the brake pads and discs for uneven wear, as low-mileage cars sometimes develop surface rust on rotors. Additionally, checking for cracking in rubber components and inspecting tyre sidew is appropriate to ensure the age of the rubber has not compromised their structural integrity despite the low mileage.
