2018 KIA Stinger 3.3L Petrol · X22 WJS

The 2026‑02‑05 MOT at 63,058 miles confirms the 2018 Kia Stinger remains roadworthy, though the rear brake pad thickness of 2 mm recorded as an advisory indicates ongoing brake wear and the vehicle has not yet passed the test without any defect. Mileage accumulation shows a steady increase of roughly 7,900 miles per year since the 2020 test, with no prolonged periods of inactivity; the interval between the 2022 test (41,115 mi) and the 2024 test (52,265 mi) spans two years and adds 11,150 miles, averaging 5,575 mi annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should therefore examine the rear brake assembly for binding calipers, inspect the condition of the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and assess the rear suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or rust. Particular attention to the exhaust system, structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches, and verification of tyre tread depth is advisable, given the recurring brake wear and the vehicle’s age. Overall, the vehicle passes the current test but the repeated brake advisories suggest the owner has not addressed wear promptly; a thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on the items listed is essential.
