2014 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · MW64 AAU

This 2014 Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 108,874 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test four days prior on 13 November 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 9,073 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2022 test at 90,832 miles and the November 2025 test at 108,874 miles shows a steady usage rate without any erratic spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. This predictable usage typically suggests a vehicle that has remained in regular operation, reducing the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage examples. The total absence of advisories across five years of testing is unusual for a twelve year old vehicle. The record shows no mentions of corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or thinning brake discs, which are common failure points for this model at this age. This suggests either a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very lenient testing regime. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the underbody and suspension components. Given the lack of reported corrosion in the MOT history, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and chassis is a priority to ensure the records accurately reflect the car's condition. Checking the service history for evidence of timing belt or chain maintenance is also essential, as the MOT record does not capture internal engine wear or drivetrain health.
