2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AD14 AMY

The 2014 KIA SPORTAGE demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all six MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent September 2025 test at 98,543 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance pattern. No recurring issues or structural concerns were flagged across the five-year history, indicating the vehicle has been well-maintained within typical usage parameters. Mileage progression shows regular annual testing, with incremental increases of approximately 8,000–8,500 miles per year. The 2021–2025 records reveal no extended gaps or sudden spikes in mileage, suggesting steady usage rather than periods of inactivity or excessive wear. The 98,543-mile total aligns with expected averages for a 12-year-old vehicle, though minor wear on consumables like tyres or brake pads may have occurred without being documented. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, the absence of advisories does not eliminate the need for physical inspection. Buyers should verify suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time. Check for corrosion on underbody panels and assess brake disc thickness, as these elements often show wear beyond MOT testing. The exhaust system and fluid levels should also be scrutinized to confirm continued reliability.
