2020 KIA Stonic Maxx 1.0L Petrol · PX20 TTO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline into minor component-related defects. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 23,426 miles passed, the tester flagged surface pitting and scoring on three of the brake discs. This indicates a shift from the clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that the braking system is beginning to show signs of age related to the vehicle's specific usage pattern. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between February 2023 (8,732 miles) and March 2026 (23,426 miles), the car covered only 14,694 miles. This low usage typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it frequently leads to surface corrosion on exposed ironwork like brake discs, as evidenced by the pitting recorded in the 2026 MOT. A buyer should focus their inspection on the braking system to determine if the pitting noted on the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear discs is merely surface level or indicates deeper material loss. The failure in March 2025 regarding a defective offside wiper blade and the subsequent advisory on the nearside blade suggest that minor rubber consumables are neglected until failure. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check for seized brake calipers or flatotted tyres, which are common issues for vehicles that remain stationary for long periods.
