2016 KIA SPORTAGE2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of passing MOT tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 54,603 miles confirms the vehicle remains in a clean state of roadworthiness. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or deteriorating structural integrity throughout the documented history. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 5,460 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 25,691 miles in October 2021 to 54,603 miles in June 2025. This pattern suggests light, consistent usage rather than long periods of stationary storage, which is generally positive for preventing fluid degradation and tyre flat-spotting. Since the MOT history is entirely clear of advisories, there are no specific mechanical trends to flag. However, because the vehicle has covered relatively low annual distances, a physical inspection should focus on potential age-related degradation that MOT tests might not capture. I recommend checking for perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, drive shafts, and engine mounts. You should also examine the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking from low usage. While the MOT records indicate no issues with emissions or structural rust, verifying the service history will be essential to confirm that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed regularly despite the low mileage.
