KIA SPORTAGE 2 CRDI2013 · 1.7L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile, showing a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection on 16 January 2026 at 122,937 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean results in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum legal standards despite a failure recorded in mid-2023. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between April 2022 at 101,422 miles and September 2024 at 116,852 miles, the car covered over 15,000 miles, suggesting a steady usage pattern. The recent interval of 6,000 miles between the September 2024 and January 2026 tests shows the vehicle remains in regular use, which generally helps prevent issues associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT history is currently clean, a buyer should focus a physical inspection on areas prone to wear at this mileage level. The failure in June 2023 at 111,700 miles was rectified quickly given the pass a month later, but the specific reason for that failure should be verified to ensure no recurring issues with suspension bushes or braking components. Given the age and mileage, checking for corrosion on the underbody and assessing the condition of brake discs is necessary to Ensure no hidden structural degradation is developing.
