2019 KIA Stinger 2.2L Diesel · JB11 BAN

The Kia Stinger presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent DVSA test on 9 January 2026 at 93,163 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged at any stage. One anomaly appears on the same date as the pass: a failure was also recorded at 93,163 miles with no defects cited, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation on this 2019 registered car shows an uneven pattern against its seven-year age. The December 2022 test at 19,258 miles implies very light early use of roughly 2,750 miles a year. By the January 2024 test the odometer read 50,908 miles, then jumped to 85,895 miles by January 2025, a surge of nearly 35,000 miles in twelve months. The final recorded figure of 93,163 miles on 9 January 2026 adds only 7,268 miles, bringing lifetime average to about 13,300 miles per year, above typical for the model age and concentrated in the 2023 to 2025 window. The sparse MOT record gives no flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission breaches across any test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the structural underbody and subframes given the high-mileage year, as salt and road film can hide early rust not yet at test-threshold. The front suspension arms, coil springs, and caliper slide movement warrant hands-on checks despite the clean advisories. The duplicated 9 January 2026 entry with a failure and no defects suggests the seller or previous keeper may have faced a retest or data error; obtain the full DVSA certificate set to confirm. Absent any recorded faults, the Stinger's history implies reasonable upkeep, though the rapid 2024 mileage gain means drivetrain and consumable intervals likely ran tight and deserve verification against service stamps.
