2022 KIA Stonic Connect Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · PY71 AEK

The Kia Stonic Connect MHEV presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 5 January 2026 at 15,421 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examination on 16 December 2024 at 10,113 miles also yielded a fault-free pass. The vehicle demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity across both inspections, with no advisories or recurring faults to suggest deterioration. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a four-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced just 5,308 miles between December 2024 and January 2026, averaging roughly 3,855 miles per annum since registration. Such low annual coverage implies predominantly short journeys or extended periods of inactivity. The sparse yet clean MOT history offers no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals; previous keepers appear to have adhered to statutory testing without deferring required attention. Despite the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural elements prone to latent issues from low-mileage storage. The tester noted no corrosion, yet standing vehicles often develop surface rust on brake discs and suspension components; examine front coil springs, suspension bushes, and calipers for binding or seizing. Verify tyre sidewall condition and tread depth, as aged rubber degrades irrespective of wear. The drivetrain and exhaust emissions showed no adverse readings in either test, but a pre-purchase check of the MHEV battery and auxiliary systems remains prudent given the mild-hybrid architecture. Overall, the documentary record supports a well-maintained example, though in-person scrutiny of brake discs and underbody integrity will confirm the paper trail.
