2019 KIA Stonic 1.4L Petrol · ND19 ACV

The most recent 2026‑03‑16 test recorded a failure for near side stop lamp(s) and near side rear tyre tread below the 1.6 mm requirement, meaning the vehicle was not roadworthy at that time; earlier passes at 55,241 miles (2024‑02‑24) and 67,251 miles (2025‑03‑23) show previous compliance, but the recurring lamp and tyre issues indicate a maintenance trend that is neither stable nor improving. The mileage rose from 55,241 miles in February 2024 to 76,563 miles by March 2026, an increase of roughly 12,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a seven‑year‑old model and suggests consistent annual driving rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and examine the chassis for structural rust or corrosion that may have been overlooked in earlier passes; the repeated lamp failures also point to potential electrical connection problems that merit verification. Finally, confirm that the windscreen wipers clear the glass effectively, the headlamp aim is correct, and the exhaust meets emission standards, while ensuring all tyres meet the minimum tread depth and that brake wear remains within normal consumable limits.
