2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · YS63 AEX

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 83,633 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the immediate pass suggests a minor administrative error or a rapid rectification of a trivial fault, as no specific defects were listed for either entry. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a thirteen year old vehicle. It has covered approximately 6,433 miles per year on average. Between 5 January 2023 at 62,496 miles and 5 January 2026 at 83,633 miles, the car averaged roughly 7,000 miles annually. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left to stand for long periods, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories or failures recorded across the last four years of testing. This lack of flagged issues suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very low-wear environment. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions that would cause concern. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as the MOT test does not always capture early-stage rust on chassis rails or suspension mounting points. Checking the service history for oil change intervals is recommended to ensure the engine has been maintained beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT. Given the clean record, focus should remain on consumable wear such as tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness.
