2018 KIA Stinger 2.2L Diesel · 121 BK

The 2018 Kia Stinger presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 54,850 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 6,856 miles, consistent with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady annual accumulation: 20,541 miles in November 2021, 29,035 in November 2022, 38,338 in November 2023, 46,842 in November 2024, and 54,850 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean history across all five tests indicates the previous owner kept consumables and mechanical items within tolerance, with no advisories logged for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the spotless record. The MOT captures only test-day condition and will not reveal early wear in coil springs, brake disc scoring, or incipient structural rust behind panels. Given the car's age, examine subframe and sill integrity, check for any weeping calipers, and confirm the original suspension components have not degraded through eight years of cycling. The absence of recorded faults suggests disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Treat the clean trail as a positive baseline, but verify actual component condition before purchase.
