2018 KIA Stinger 3.3L Petrol · CV18 UHC

The 2018 Kia Stinger presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 June 2025 at 68,395 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 June 2023 at 59,355 miles confirms no advisories or mechanical faults have accumulated across the recorded history. Annual mileage sits at a modest 8,549 per year against an eight-year lifespan, with the odometer reading 68,395 miles at the latest examination. The record shows steady accumulation: 54,827 miles in May 2022, 59,355 in June 2023, 63,989 in June 2024, and 68,395 in June 2025. A duplicate entry exists for 8 June 2024 where the vehicle first failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, pointing to an administrative or processing anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical defect. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of any advisory data to confirm wear states. The clean MOT trail implies the previous keeper maintained basic upkeep, but DVSA tests do not measure intermittent faults or components failing between annual intervals. Prior to purchase, verify the 8 June 2024 failure reason with DVSA records and confirm no hidden rectification took place. Check tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables fall outside the scope of the recorded passes yet dictate everyday roadworthiness.
