2019 KIA Stonic 1.0L Petrol · SY69 UUA

The vehicle presents a roadworthy profile following a successful MOT test in November 2025 at 27,080 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a minor failure recorded just two days prior to that pass. The tester previously identified a fractured nearside front coil spring and a binding offside rear service brake. The fact that these were rectified immediately to achieve a clean-sheet pass suggests the current owner is responsive to safety-critical failures rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,869 miles per year. Data shows consistent annual usage patterns, moving from 17,804 miles in November 2022 to 27,080 miles in late 2025. This low-intensity use typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, low-mileage vehicles can suffer from flat-spotted tyres or seized brake components if the car sits for long periods between journeys. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension geometry given the history of recorded issues. The November 2023 test at 21,502 miles flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, which is common on low-use cars where moisture corrodes metal surfaces. You should verify the current condition of the discs and pads and check the offside rear caliper for continued binding. Additionally, the replacement nearside coil spring should be inspected for signs of premature fatigue or damage to ensure the repair was executed correctly and that no other suspension components are failing.
