2021 KIA Stonic 2 S-A 1.0L Petrol · RO71 ADZ

The June 2026 MOT at 45,898 miles passed with no structural, emissions or safety failures, confirming current roadworthiness, yet the near‑side front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and perished on the edge, and the near‑side rear tyre showed cracking or perishing. The recurring tyre wear and the earlier 2025 test noting similar tyre defects indicate a stable maintenance pattern, with no worsening of mechanical faults between tests. The vehicle’s 45,898 miles at five years of age equate to roughly 9,180 miles per year, a rate typical for its class. Mileage rose from 26,225 miles on 2 August 2024 to 35,858 miles on 28 July 2025, a gain of 9,633 miles in eleven months, suggesting normal usage without abrupt periods of standing. Earlier records show a minimal increase from 26,220 to 26,225 miles in early August 2024, indicating a short interval between tests. A buyer should therefore inspect the near‑side tyres for uneven wear, check wheel alignment and suspension bushes for play, and examine the rear brake calipers for binding, the brake pads for remaining thickness, and the brake discs for scoring or pitting. The 2025 advisory on worn front and rear pads and the 2026 tyre perishing point to ongoing consumable wear that may reflect deferred servicing. No structural rust or chassis defects appear in the record, and the 2024 failure for a non‑functional washer does not affect mechanical integrity, but the buyer ought to verify the washer pump and fluid lines, confirm the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers, and ensure the exhaust system shows no corrosion that could compromise structural integrity.
