2022 KIA Stonic Connect Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · SS54 AMS

The Kia Stonic Connect MHEV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 17 September 2025 at 29,551 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. A single clean test at four years of age gives no indication of worsening faults or recurring mechanical issues across the vehicle's history. The recorded mileage of 29,551 at the September 2025 test equates to roughly 7,388 miles per year since first registration, a figure consistent with typical private use for a 2022 model. The MOT record contains no earlier entries, so no rapid accumulation or standing gaps can be charted, but the sparse history itself shows no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion to date. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. Low annual mileage can mask perished rubber components, such as door seals and suspension mounts, and allow brake discs to develop light corrosion through inactivity. The absence of any structural or exhaust emissions flags in the record implies reasonable previous owner care, yet the single test offers limited evidence on long-term wear of coil springs or caliper operation. Given the vehicle's age and uneventful test outcome, focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, fluid condition, and tyre sidewall ageing. No recurring consumable neglect or serious mechanical risk is visible in the official data, but four years without a prior test means in-person verification of drivetrain and chassis remains prudent.
