2025 KIA Stonic 3 Mhev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LR02 NAS

The most recent MOT was on 2025-10-01 — just over 8 months ago — and it passed with no defects at 49,934 miles. Every MOT since 2021 has been a clean pass, with no recorded defects across five consecutive tests. This shows consistent mechanical reliability and likely good basic maintenance. The defect-free pattern is stable — not worsening, not improving (since there’s nothing to improve from), but reliably solid over five years of annual testing. At 49,934 miles and 11 years old, this car averages just under 4,540 miles per year. That’s low for its age. Low mileage can mean lighter use — but it can also hint at extended periods of inactivity, which risks dried seals, stiff suspension rubbers, degraded brake fluid, or stale fuel system components. There’s no evidence here of hard use or abuse, but the mileage alone doesn’t confirm whether the car was regularly driven or sat for months at a time. The MOT history is short on detail — no advisories, no failures, no repairs logged — so it tells us only what wasn’t wrong at test time, not what might be developing beneath the surface. Before buying, inspect the condition of rubber bushings (especially front control arms and anti-roll bar links) — they often harden or crack when cars sit unused.
