2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · NL14 AAN

This 2014 Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 January 2026 at 123,363 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any noted advisories or failures related to mechanical wear, which is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 10,280 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2023 test at 87,306 miles and the January 2026 test at 123,363 miles shows a steady increase of approximately 36,000 miles over two years. There are no erratic jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration or misuse. The absence of recorded defects across multiple years is atypical for a high mileage vehicle. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as these components often wear without triggering an immediate MOT failure. Checking the brake discs for lip wear and the exhaust system for corrosion is advisable given the vehicle has exceeded 120,000 miles. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically in December 2024 and January 2026. Since no defects were listed for these failures, they likely relate to administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately. The lack of recurring faults suggests a disciplined approach to maintenance by the previous owners.
