2022 KIA Stonic GT-Line S ISG Mhev S-A 1.0L Hybrid electric · LG72 XBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on September 17, 2025, but the record reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than proactive care. The test on that date failed due to misaligned headlamps, which were corrected immediately to achieve the pass. While the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, the presence of multiple wear-related advisories suggests that issues are only addressed when they threaten an MOT rather than during routine service intervals. At four years old, the recorded mileage of 22,279 miles represents relatively low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,570 miles per year. This low mileage typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, yet the MOT data from September 2025 shows premature wear on consumables. The engine oil level was below the minimum during the test, which indicates either neglect of fluid checks or potential consumption issues that can manifest in vehicles that sit idle for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the offside front tyre showed uneven wear on the edges, often indicating an alignment issue or worn suspension arm bushes. The nearside tyre also showed signs of perishing, a common fault for low-mileage cars that remain stationary. Given that front brake discs and pads were flagged as wearing during the 2025 test, the remaining life of the pads should be measured to ensure they are not nearing the point of replacement.
