2019 KIA Stinger 2.2L Diesel · LB68 HCZ

The 2019 Kia Stinger presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 August 2025 at 118,728 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 23 August 2023 at 98,752 miles confirms no advisories or faults have accumulated across the recorded history. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition in the official record. Mileage stands at 118,728 against a seven-year age, equating to roughly 16,961 miles per year which is high for this model's class. The records show 81,924 miles on 22 August 2022, 98,752 on 23 August 2023, 107,786 on 30 August 2024, and 118,728 on 14 August 2025, a consistent annual accumulation near 10,000 to 11,000 miles in the logged years. A failed test on 30 August 2024 at 107,786 miles carries no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or emissions-readiness issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the same-day pass indicates swift resolution. The sparse MOT data shows no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the drivetrain and suspension wear given the elevated mileage, and verify the 2024 failure cause through DVSA portal detail. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic consumable upkeep current, but high annual use warrants checking tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and underbody rust not captured by MOT pass criteria.
