2018 KIA Stinger 2.2L Diesel · LG68 AEV

The Kia Stinger is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 recorded 48 909 miles and returned a pass with no defects. The earlier tyre advisories from December 2022 (nearside front tyre worn to 3 mm) and December 2021 (both rear tyres) have not reappeared, indicating the maintenance trend is improving and the vehicle’s consumable wear is under control. Mileage accumulation has been steady throughout the eight‑year span. From December 2021 (20 855 miles) to December 2022 (29 103 miles) the car logged roughly 8 250 miles in eleven months, then progressed to 33 129 miles by April 2023, 39 933 miles by April 2024, 46 214 miles by April 2025, and finally 48 909 miles by October 2025. This pattern averages about 6 100 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2018 model and shows no abrupt spikes or gaps in the service history. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre condition closely, looking for even tread wear and ensuring each tyre meets the 1.6 mm legal limit, as the previous rear‑tyre advisories suggest the set may have been subject to uneven loading or pressure neglect. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or excessive wear, and check the brake discs and callipers for binding or uneven glazing, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. A visual scan of the exhaust system and under‑body panels for rust or structural corrosion is also advisable, as long‑term exposure can compromise chassis integrity even when MOT records show no active faults.
