2021 KIA Stonic 2 S-A 1.0L Petrol · WM21 SYG

The Kia Stonic presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 26,074 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 8 April 2024 at 13,683 miles also passed clean. Across both examinations the vehicle carried zero advisories, indicating no emerging wear the tester felt obliged to flag. The mileage pattern shows very light use for a five-year-old car. Between April 2024 and June 2025 the odometer advanced only 12,391 miles, and total recorded distance sits at 26,074 against an approximate annual average of 5,215. The DVSA history is sparse with just two entries and no failures, so the record alone gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. Low standing mileage does, however, raise the prospect of perished seals or flat-spotted tyres from disuse rather than abrasion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion in either test means no recurring fault trend exists to chase, but the 14-month gap between tests leaves the intervening period unverified. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking from prolonged static storage and confirm the brakes are free, not binding through lack of use. Verify underbody structural integrity for any early corrosion, as the 2025 pass offers no longitudinal comparison on metal condition.
