KIA SPORTAGE2016 · 1.7L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, maintaining a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 July 2025 at 78,436 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean record across five consecutive annual tests dating back to 2021 suggests that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and avoided allowing minor issues to escalate into mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a decade-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,844 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered 37,259 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of neglect or heavy strain. The intervals between tests are regular, with gaps of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 miles, indicating a predictable driving profile which is generally beneficial for the longevity of rubber-based components and fluid systems. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults regarding structural corrosion, suspension components, or brake calipers, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear typical for this age and mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or weeping, as these are not always flagged until they reach significant failure. Additionally, checking the brake pads for uneven wear and ensuring tyre tread depth meets legal requirements will confirm that the clean digital record reflects the actual physical state of the car.
