2017 KIA Stinger 3.3L Petrol · LG67 ONR

The 2017 KIA Stinger has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 2025-10-10 at 34,157 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, compliant maintenance and has not exhibited any recurring or serious mechanical issues during official testing. The absence of advisories or failings implies the previous owner adhered to scheduled servicing, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance beyond MOT scope—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or underbody corrosion, which are not routinely inspected in standard MOT tests. The recorded mileage of 34,157 miles over nine years—approximately 3,800 miles annually—indicates light usage, which generally correlates with lower wear on high-stress components. There are no irregular gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with intervals averaging around 3,000 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle’s age. While low mileage can reduce the likelihood of severe mechanical failure, it does not eliminate the need for thorough inspection of components that degrade over time regardless of usage, such as suspension mounts or brake calipers. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the condition of rear coil springs and mounting bushes, as these are common wear points on this model. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant closer examination for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored for prolonged periods. Underbody corrosion—common in high-mileage or exposed vehicles—should be assessed, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity. Finally, fluid levels (brake, power steering, coolant) and hoses should be checked, as these are not routinely tested but are critical for long-term reliability.
