2013 KIA Sportage 2 Crdi 1.7L Heavy oil · BL62 AGO

The 2013 Kia Sportage shows a stable roadworthiness trend in its most recent testing history. The latest MOT conducted in May 2025 at 116,844 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle is currently in a compliant mechanical state. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the current owner has addressed previous maintenance issues and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard over the last three years. With 116,844 miles recorded over 13 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a diesel SUV of this age. The record reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance particularly between 2020 and 2022. For instance, at 83,576 miles, the vehicle failed due to worn brake pads, weakened discs, and faulty wiper blades. Similarly, a failure at 69,538 miles highlighted a missing wheel nut and critical wear on the front brake components. These issues represent standard consumable wear and occasional oversight rather than systemic mechanical failures that compromise the structural integrity of the chassis. The history indicates recurring issues with the braking system and visibility components, such as the washer fluid and wiper blades, which appeared across multiple tests. However, the fact that the vehicle has passed its last three tests since late 2022 without any advisories suggests these specific items have been replaced or repaired. A prospective buyer should still verify the current condition of the suspension bushes and brake components during a physical inspection, as these are common points of fatigue on high-mileage Kias subjected to heavy loads.
