2013 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · KN63 AAZ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent April 2026 inspection at 85,671 miles. All prior tests from 2023 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the owner addressed minor concerns promptly, though the repeated 2023 test date (April 25) raises ambiguity—two entries for the same date and mileage, one marked as failed but with no defects listed. This inconsistency does not reflect on the car’s condition but highlights a data anomaly. The mileage progression shows regular annual testing with no significant gaps, aligning with the vehicle’s 13-year age and average annual usage of 6,590 miles. From 58,220 miles in April 2023 to 85,671 miles in April 2026, the increase reflects steady, predictable wear. No rapid accumulation or prolonged inactivity is evident, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation from standing. The clean record over three years suggests the vehicle has been driven and maintained to standard, though older components may still require scrutiny. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these are common wear items in 13-year-old SUVs. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but a visual check for corrosion on underbody components and exhaust system integrity is recommended. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the lack of detailed defect reports means a pre-purchase inspection should focus on fluid levels, steering alignment, and tire tread depth to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
