2018 KIA STINGER2.2L Diesel

The 2018 Kia Stinger is presently roadworthy, having passed the July 2025 MOT at 74,710 miles with no structural, emission or major defect findings. The near‑side and off‑side front tyres were recorded as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, indicating that replacement is overdue. Previous records show front and rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in the September 2022 test, but no brake defects were reported in the 2024 or 2025 tests, suggesting the pads may have been renewed or remain within acceptable limits, and the overall maintenance trend remains stable. With a total of 74,710 miles accumulated over eight years, the vehicle averages 9,339 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. The interval from the September 2023 test at 52,832 miles to the August 2024 test at 61,295 miles represents an increase of 8,463 miles in eleven months, and the subsequent rise to 74,710 miles by July 2025 adds another 13,415 miles in the same period, indicating a noticeable acceleration in annual mileage compared with earlier, more moderate intervals. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the front tyres for tread depth and edge wear, and verify that the suspension bushes and coil springs show no signs of cracking or excessive play, as the tyre wear pattern may reflect mis‑alignment or worn components. Examine the brake discs for scoring, the condition of the calipers for binding, and confirm that the brake pads have been replaced since the 2022 advisory. Check the chassis and wheel arches for rust, especially around the structural members and suspension mounting points, and inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks. Given the recent clean MOT, the vehicle appears mechanically sound, but the documented tyre wear and prior brake pad advisories suggest that immediate replacement of tyres and verification of brake condition are essential before purchase.
