Kia Stinger (2022)
2022 Kia Stinger
CarHunch analysed 147 real MOT records for the 2022 Kia Stinger. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Kia Stinger is a genuinely reliable performer, passing its first MOT 95.7% of the time—well ahead of the UK average of 80%—with only 2.7% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects. This is a solidly safe buy from a mechanical standpoint.
These cars are running around 21,000 miles at test time, which is spot-on for their age, and they're racking up very few failures (0.09 per vehicle) and modest advisory issues (0.6 per vehicle). If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection is still sensible, but you're looking at a model with a strong track record for getting through MOT without drama.
What to check before buying a 2022 Kia Stinger
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
