2018 KIA Stinger 2.2L Diesel · LG68 ABF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the most recent MOT test indicates a shift toward neglected basic consumable maintenance. While the car passed its December 2025 test at 76,326 miles, the tester flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or showing uneven edge wear. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in late 2023 and earlier, suggesting that the current owner has deferred tyre replacement despite the increasing service intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression between tests, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 9,600 miles between November 2024 and December 2025. This regularity suggests the car is not sitting for long periods, though the 2024 failure for leaking windscreen washer fluid indicates a minor plumbing issue rather than a significant mechanical failure. A buyer should prioritize a thorough suspension and alignment inspection due to the edge wear reported on all four tyres in the latest record. This specific type of wear often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking geometry rather than simple mileage-based degradation. The presence of undertrays noted in 2021 and 2022 is a positive factor for protection against road debris, but the underbody should still be checked for any emerging corrosion or loose mounting bolts that may have been obscured by these components.
