2012 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · SV62 AHG

This 2012 Kia Sportage presents a remarkably clean MOT history. The most recent test in July 2025 at 104,688 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure at 104,687 miles that also listed no defects. That failure likely stemmed from a procedural or minor rectifiable issue, as the pass immediately followed. Overall, the maintenance trend is stable and positive, with no advisories or structural warnings across any of the recorded tests. The mileage of 104,688 miles across 14 years equates to roughly 7,478 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The annual usage pattern shows a notable increase between the June 2024 test at 90,273 miles and the July 2025 test at 104,687 miles, covering over 14,000 miles in 13 months. This suggests the vehicle was used more intensively in its later years, but the clean test results indicate it coped well with that workload. Given the absence of any flagged faults, the vehicle has clearly been maintained to a good standard. However, a pre-purchase inspection should still focus on common wear items for a 14-year-old Kia with over 100,000 miles. Pay particular attention to suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for signs of corrosion or wear. Check the exhaust system for rust and ensure the engine runs cleanly, as emissions were not flagged. Tyre condition and wiper blades are consumables, but the lack of advisories suggests the previous owner kept on top of basic upkeep.
