2018 KIA Stinger 2.2L Diesel · LG68 ABZ

The vehicle is road‑worthy, having passed the 28 April 2026 MOT at 76,481 miles, with the tester noting only fluctuating front and rear service brakes – a non‑excessive advisory rather than a failure. After a 2022 failure that highlighted worn discs, pads and an imbalance, the subsequent 2023, 2024 and 2025 tests recorded no defects, indicating that the braking system has been remedied and now remains stable, with only minor fluctuation noted in the latest test. Mileage averages roughly 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a modest rise from 32,444 miles in September 2021 to 40,314 miles by September 2022, then a steady climb to 46,633 miles by November 2023 and 46,889 miles by March 2024. A pronounced increase to 64,124 miles by April 2025 and a further jump to 76,481 miles by April 2026 suggests a period of intensified use in the last two years, potentially accelerating wear on consumables. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the braking system in person, confirming disc surface integrity, pad thickness and that the noted brake‑fluctuation does not translate into uneven performance. Inspection of the off‑side front wheel bearing for play, flagged at 5 April 2025, is advisable, as is a close examination of tyre tread, especially the edges that were reported close to the legal limit in the 2025 test. While no structural or corrosion advisories appear in the MOT history, a visual check of suspension bushes and coil springs is prudent given the recent mileage surge. Ensuring these components are free of excessive wear will confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical health matches the recorded MOT outcomes.
