KIA SPORTAGE2017 · 1.7L Diesel

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 70,488 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the typical gradual degradation of components often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a nine year old car. The distance increased from 46,367 miles in November 2022 to 70,488 miles by November 2025, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals, nor has it been subjected to excessive wear from high-mileage commuting. The record shows a single failure on 9 November 2022 at 46,365 miles, though the tester recorded no specific defects. This likely indicates a clerical error or a minor administrative failure, as the vehicle passed its retest two miles later on the same day. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion across the entire history. A physical inspection should focus on general wear and tear items that MOT testers sometimes overlook if they meet the minimum legal threshold. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables will naturally wear regardless of a clean MOT sheet. Examine the underside for any surface corrosion, though the lack of structural advisories over the last four years suggests the chassis integrity remains sound.
