KIA SPORTAGE2013 · 2.0L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistent clean record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 June 2025 at 151,041 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This ongoing trend suggests a stable maintenance regimen where the owner has likely proactively addressed mechanical and safety concerns before they could result in formal MOT failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per annum. There is a notable increase of over 16,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025, following a lower period of roughly 7,000 miles in the preceding year. This indicates the car is currently being used regularly, preventing long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals, battery health, and braking systems. Despite the clean test history, the high mileage of 151 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear mechanical components. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, shock artwork, and control arms, which often show fatigue beyond 100,000 miles. A buyer should also verify the absence of structural corrosion on the underside and rear sills, as these areas are not always flagged until rust becomes a significant failure point.
