2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · HK66 ABZ

The 2016 Kia Sportage stands as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the 15 December 2025 MOT at 94,618 miles which returned a pass and no defects recorded. Five consecutive annual examinations from December 2021 to December 2025 each produced a clean result. This unbroken pass history signals consistent upkeep rather than deferred repairs. Mileage advanced from 50,384 miles at the 1 December 2021 test to 94,618 miles by the 15 December 2025 test, an average annual increment near 11,000 miles. The figure aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle and shows no erratic jumps or standing gaps. Each test fell within a few days of the prior year’s date, demonstrating disciplined scheduling by previous keepers. The DVSA record shows zero advisories on mechanical or structural components throughout the five-year span. Testers logged no concerns with brake discs, suspension arms, exhaust emissions or chassis integrity at any interval. Such a clean sheet implies the former keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevented minor defects escalating into failures. Despite the unblemished history, a purchaser must still examine wear items in person. Inspect tyre tread depth across all four corners, check for seepage at suspension bushes and scrutinise brake calipers for free movement given the 94,618-mile accumulation. Underbody corrosion can develop between tests, so a ramp inspection remains prudent before completion of sale.
