2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DA63 AAV

The 2013 Kia Sportage stands roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 27 November 2025 at 122,464 miles passing with no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from 12 November 2021 to that date returned clears without advisories, showing no worsening faults and implying previous owners kept the vehicle to standard. Mileage rose from 52,757 at the November 2021 test to 65,880 by 24 November 2022, then 83,883 on 17 November 2023, 103,524 on 18 November 2024, and 122,464 on 27 November 2025. Those steps average near 17,000 miles per year, above the roughly 9,420 typical for a 13-year-old car but reflecting steady use rather than gaps or standing. The official ledger is sparse, listing only pass results, yet the clean streak signals disciplined upkeep. A buyer should still inspect in person the components that age and mileage strain despite absent MOT flags. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper condition for fatigue at 122,000 miles, and examine brake discs and calipers for wear or binding. Look under the sills and subframes for corrosion, and assess exhaust emissions hardware. Tyres, wiper blades, and similar consumables warrant visual check, but the lack of historical advisories points to no acute structural or mechanical risk in the record.
