2013 KIA SPORTAGE1.6L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy following its October 2025 MOT test at 98,770 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable but reactive pattern, where components are typically addressed only as they approach legal failure thresholds. While the car passed, the most recent inspection identified pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs and a missing clutch pedal rubber. This suggests that the previous owner prioritised meeting minimum legal requirements rather than proactive preventative replacement of wear-and-tear components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 71,897 miles and October 2025 at 98,770 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 27,000 miles, indicating regular annual use. This steady usage profile generally benefits vehicles by preventing long periods of stagnation that lead to internal corrosion, though it does subject the rubber-based components and suspension bushings to expected age-related degradation. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a recurring history of worn discs on both the front in 2021 and the rear in 2025. The pitting on the disc surfaces indicates potential moisture ingress or sticking calipers which could affect braking efficiency. Furthermore, the consistent advisories for tyre wear from 2022 to 2024 highlight a pattern of neglecting tyres until they reached the legal limit. The current set should be checked for tread depth and perishing, as the 2022 report specifically noted cracking across all four tyres.
