2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · A13 DDA

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 March 2026 at 50,150 miles returned no defects or advisories. This uninterrupted streak of clean passes suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically trigger MOT advisories. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 30,863 miles and March 2026 at 50,150 miles, the car covered roughly 19,300 miles. This consistent usage pattern indicates light annual mileage, which generally results in less wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components compared to higher-mile counterparts. However, low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer secondary issues with rubber-based components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods between tests. While the MOT history shows no faults, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking due to age, and inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting if the vehicle was not used frequently. Given the age of the Sportage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perish, as these materials degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. The overall data indicates a well-cared example that has avoided the history of significant mechanical failures.
