2019 KIA Stinger 2.2L Diesel · LD19 AAV

The 2019 Kia Stinger with 40,020 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT test in March 2025, which recorded a pass with no defects. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals a pattern of repeated passes and fails at identical mileages (40,020 and 38,039 miles) without recorded issues, raising questions about the accuracy or thoroughness of these assessments. The lack of defects in all tests suggests no critical mechanical failures, but the inconsistency in pass/fail outcomes at the same mileage may indicate procedural irregularities or minimal wear. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of ~5,717 miles aligns with its seven-year age, implying infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The MOT records show no significant gaps between tests, with annual assessments from 2023 to 2025. However, the absence of defects in all tests, despite the repeated fails, is unusual. This could reflect either exceptional maintenance or incomplete testing, as standard MOTs typically identify minor issues like tyre wear or light corrosion. The sparse data limits definitive conclusions about long-term wear trends. A buyer should conduct a detailed in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and anti-roll bar bushes, which are common wear points on this model. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage does not preclude rust in coastal or humid environments. While the MOT history shows no structural integrity issues, the lack of recorded advisories on tyres or wiper blades suggests potential oversight in previous maintenance, warranting a thorough check of these consumables.
