KIA SPORTAGE2014 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2014 KIA SPORTAGE demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT record, which was passed on 2025-12-22 at 122,241 miles with no defects recorded. However, the immediate prior test on 2025-12-19 at the same mileage failed without defects, suggesting potential administrative error or repeated testing without resolution. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 show consistent passing at 111,542 and 101,948 miles respectively, with no defects noted. The pattern of repeated passes and fails at identical mileages raises questions about the reliability of the data, but no structural or mechanical failures were documented in the passing tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,241 miles over 12 years aligns with average annual usage of 10,187 miles, indicating typical wear. The MOT history shows no significant gaps in testing, with annual assessments from 2023 to 2025. However, the duplication of test dates and mileages in 2023 and 2025—such as two tests on 2023-12-19 at 101,948 miles—suggests possible data inconsistencies. The absence of defects in passing tests implies no critical failures, but the lack of detailed findings limits insight into minor wear or maintenance practices. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these components often degrade over time. While no exhaust emissions or structural integrity issues were flagged, the repeated MOT tests without recorded defects warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness and address any unresolved concerns from the inconsistent test records.
