2021 KIA Stonic 2 1.0L Petrol · PN21 VRP

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 March 2026 at 22,499 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the car currently meets all DVSA safety and environmental standards for tested components. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging 4,500 miles per annum. Between March 2024 at 15,209 miles and March 2025 at 18,763 miles, the car covered only 3,544 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components, though low-mileage operation can sometimes lead to flat-spotting on tyres or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should verify the repair related to the nearside front track rod end which was flagged with slight play during the 2024 test at 15,209 miles. While the 2026 record shows no further faults, a physical inspection of the steering linkage and suspension bushes remains advisable to ensure the replacement was effective and that no new play has developed. Given the low mileage, one should also check for surface rust on the brake rotors and tyre degradation, which are common in vehicles that are driven infrequently.
