2022 KIA Stonic GT-Line ISG Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · ST71 VFN

OVERALL VERDICT: The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-01-24 at 28,579 miles with no defects recorded. Both the current and previous MOTs show a clean record with no advisories or failures, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 13 months. There is no evidence of deteriorating mechanical condition. MILEAGE & WEAR PROFILE: With 28,579 miles recorded at age four, the vehicle averages approximately 7,145 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for its age. Mileage progression from 21,690 miles in January 2025 to 28,579 miles one year later reflects normal annual use without significant gaps or excessive wear indicators. No anomalies in mileage reporting or usage patterns are evident from the available data. CRITICAL IN-PERSON CHECKS: Despite clean MOT records, a buyer should verify the condition of suspension components including front lower arms, bushes, and coil springs, which are common wear points on small SUVs. Inspect brake discs and pads for even wear and signs of binding calipers, particularly given the relatively low annual mileage that may mask intermittent use. Check for any signs of corrosion on structural areas such as sills, wheel arches, and underbody, especially if used in urban or coastal environments. Confirm engine start-stop system (ISG) functionality and battery health, as micro-hybrid systems can develop electrical faults not always captured during an MOT. Finally, inspect tyres and exhaust system for deterioration due to age rather than wear, as both are susceptible when vehicles spend prolonged periods stationary.
