KIA SPORTAGE2013 · 2.0L Diesel

The 2013 Kia Sportage presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 9 September 2025 at 87,717 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history reveals an odd pattern of same-day failures and passes in both July 2024 and September 2025 with no defects listed, suggesting administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components were flagged across any recorded examination. The recorded mileage of 87,717 against a 13-year lifespan equates to a modest average of roughly 6,747 miles per year, consistent with light-to-moderate use for a vehicle of this type. Between the July 2023 test at 78,815 miles and the July 2024 test at 83,775 miles the car covered just under 5,000 miles, then added around 3,942 miles to the September 2025 figure. The DVSA data is sparse, showing only three pass years and two zero-defect failures, so no meaningful wear trend or neglect pattern can be drawn from consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory detail in the record. The lack of flagged coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues does not confirm their condition, merely that the tester recorded none. Verify the legitimacy of the two same-day fail-and-pass entries at 83,775 and 87,716 miles with the supplying garage to rule out mileage or documentation anomalies before purchase.
