2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · TD64 ALE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of consistent maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 3 November 2025 at 115,275 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This follows a period of clean passes in the preceding years, suggesting that the current ownership is proactively addressing any necessary repairs to keep the vehicle road-legal. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use family vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 25,750 miles, showing a steady usage pattern. A significant jump occurred between November 2024 and November 2025, where the car clocked 11,192 miles in a single year. While the record shows a failure in November 2023 at 89,719 miles, the immediate pass on that day indicates the defect was rectified without becoming a recurring issue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage wear. Given the vehicle has surpassed 115,000 miles, close attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is required as these often degrade at this interval. The record does not flag structural corrosion, but a visual check of the underside for rust on mounting points remains prudent for a vehicle of this age. Additionally, verifying the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding will ensure the high mileage has not compromised the braking system.
