2013 KIA SPORTAGE2.0L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 8 November 2025 at 100,659 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a failure exactly one day prior. This pattern of a failure followed by an immediate pass suggests that minor, non-critical issues are addressed promptly by the owner. The lack of recorded advisories in the latest three tests indicates that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards without pending structural or mechanical defects. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows a gap of 4,678 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 3,694 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than suffering long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for rubber components, seals, and the overall health of the drivetrain compared to neglected low-mileage vehicles. While the digital record is clean, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a Kia Sportage of this age. Given the mileage exceeds 100,000 miles, check the suspension arm bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or fatigue, as these often degrade at this interval. Inspect the brake discs for excessive thinning or uneven wear and examine the underbody for surface corrosion. Since the MOT history does not flag any structural rust, the focus should remain on the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the exhaust system to ensure the vehicle remains as maintained as the record suggests.
