2019 KIA SPORTAGE1.6L Diesel

The 2019 Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent inspection in August 2025 with no recorded defects. This indicates a consistent level of maintenance over the last two years. While the vehicle did suffer a one-day failure in August 2024 at 91,222 miles, the issue was rectified immediately as it passed the following day, suggesting that the owner proactively addresses faults rather than allowing them to persist into long-term neglect. The vehicle has covered 96,413 miles in approximately seven years, averaging roughly 13,773 miles per year. This is slightly higher than the national average for a car of this age, which suggests frequent use, likely artwork or long-distance commuting. The mileage progression shows steady growth, with approximately 17,000 miles driven between the 2022 and 2023 tests and another 16,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. Given the high mileage, a buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of high-wear components that age under distance. This includes the suspension bushings, bolts, and shock dampers, which often show fatigue near the 100,000-mile mark. Brake components should be checked for thickness and pitting, as the consistent mileage implies significant cycles on the braking system. Since the MOT history is clean of structural rust advisories, the chassis appears well-kept, but the mechanical wear remains the primary consideration for a high-mileage Kia of this era.
