2018 KIA Stonic 1.4L Petrol · MH18 GCZ

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently non-compliant with the current MOT standard, as the most recent test on 2025-06-17 failed the Central Front Items requirement. This indicates a failure in the core mechanical system, specifically the front headlamps and offside brake disc, which are critical for the vehicle's safety and performance. The failure occurred on a date that is only 8 months prior to the current date, placing the issue in the immediate post-accident or post-accident maintenance window, suggesting that the car has not undergone a full overhaul since the previous failed test. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 6,915 miles in just over eight years, which is a significant accumulation rate. This rapid increase in mileage suggests that the owner has likely driven the car for extended periods without any major preventative maintenance, leading to accelerated wear on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The gap between the most recent test and the current date implies that the vehicle may have been driven for more than 100 hours in a single day, which is a dangerous driving pattern that significantly increases the risk of injury. Given the recurring faults, particularly the binding brakes and worn inner tyres, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for the presence of structural rust, binding calipers, and suspension bushes. The history indicates that the brakes have been inspected but not repaired, which is a critical finding. If the brakes are not fully functional or if the brake pads are worn thin, the vehicle will likely fail the MOT test again unless the brakes are replaced or the pads are changed. The owner should also check for corrosion on the exhaust system and structural integrity of the chassis, as the failure of the headlamps and brakes is a serious indication that the vehicle's mechanical structure has degraded.
