2016 KIA SPORTAGE 3 ISG CRDI1.7L Diesel

The 2016 Kia Sportage 3 ISG CRDi presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 December 2025 at 143,491 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the vehicle failed twice in recent cycles with no listed defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical decline. The December 2025 pass confirms the car cleared inspection seven days after a 10 December 2025 failure at 143,415 miles, both showing clean sheets. Mileage stands at 143,491 against a ten-year-old chassis, equating to roughly 14,349 miles per year and placing this example above average use for its age. The record shows 131,960 miles on 4 December 2023, rising to 135,960 by 9 December 2024 and 143,491 by the December 2025 tests, a steady annual accumulation near 7,500 to 8,000 miles in the later period after heavier earlier running. No standing gaps or sudden jumps appear; the sparse history of five entries across three years leaves limited visibility, but every submitted test returned a pass or a no-defect fail. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and limited test scrutiny. The twin no-defect failures on 29 November 2023 and 10 December 2025 warrant confirmation that no latent corrosion or exhaust emissions fault was overlooked at the bay. Drivetrain wear on the CRDi unit and tyre condition should be physically verified, as consumable items escape MOT capture between annual tests.
