2022 KIA Stonic 2 1.0L Petrol · SY71 XFU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 47,863 miles resulted in a pass, it introduced an advisory for all four tyres being nearing the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates that while the mechanical and structural components met the testing standard, the owner has neglected routine tyre replacement in the most recent twelve months. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 34,936 miles and the January 2026 test at 47,863 miles, the car covered 12,927 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and brake components, though it accelerates the natural rate of wear-related items. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the tyre condition to determine if the uneven wear noted in the 2026 record is caused by incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the lack of defects recorded in the 2025 test, the structural integrity and braking systems appear sound. However, the immediate need for a new set of tyres means the next owner must budget for this maintenance expense shortly after purchase.
