KIA SPORTAGE2019 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 May 2025 at 60,205 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a streak of clean passes in the preceding three years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high mechanical and structural standard over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. Between the May 2023 test at 31,572 miles and the May 2025 test at 60,205 miles, the car covered 28,633 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. The single recorded failure back in May 2022 at 20,788 miles appears to have been an isolated incident, as the retest on the same day confirmed the issue was rectified immediately without further recurrence. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to natural wear at this mileage bracket. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and control arms, as these often show signs of degradation on SUVs of this age. Given the lack of previous advisories, the brakes should be examined for binding calipers or uneven thinning of discs to ensure the clean record reflects the actual state of the hardware.
