2022 KIA Stonic Connect Mhev S-A 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · NG22 BHF

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 23 June 2025 at 20,265 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or fails recorded. This indicates that, at the time of testing, all major safety and emissions systems met the required standard. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or emerging mechanical concerns visible in the official record. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2022-registered vehicle. At roughly 5,066 miles per year, the car has seen significantly less use than the UK average. The single recorded test at 20,265 miles shows no prior mileage history, meaning there is no evidence of rapid accumulation or suspicious odometer gaps. The low annual mileage suggests light, likely urban or short-trip use, which can place different stresses on components compared to sustained motorway driving. Despite the clean MOT, a buyer should inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines. Low-mileage vehicles that sit unused for extended periods can develop moisture-related corrosion that a single annual test may not fully reveal. Tyre condition also warrants close attention. Rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth, and tyres fitted since 2022 may be approaching replacement due to cracking or perishing, even if the tread remains legal. The braking system and exhaust should be checked during a short test drive. Low-speed urban use can lead to uneven brake disc wear and caliper sticking, conditions that may not trigger an MOT advisory until they progress further. The mild-hybrid electrical system, including the 48-volt battery and starter-generator, should be scanned for fault codes. A clean MOT confirms compliance at one point in time, but a pre-purchase inspection remains essential for a complete mechanical picture.
