2021 KIA Stonic GT-Line S ISG Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · SY21 MXJ

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend following a minor mechanical setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 March 2025 at 28,492 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. This transition from a failure to a clean pass suggests the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets regulatory requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 and 2025 tests, the car covered 7,765 miles, which represents a slight increase in usage compared to its historical average. This low cumulative mileage generally implies reduced wear on high-stress drivetrain components and suspension assemblies, though it can occasionally lead to minor corrosion on brake discs or flat spotting if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. While the most recent record is clean, the failure on 15 March 2024 at 20,727 miles warrants a look at the specific components that caused the rejection. A buyer should verify that the repairs made following that failure were thorough and not merely symptomatic. Since the record does not specify the exact reason for that initial failure, a physical inspection of the brake lines, suspension bushes, and exhaust system is advisable to ensure that low-mileage usage has not masked degradation of rubber components or allowed fluid oxidation.
