2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AF16 NGG

The 2016 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 75,221 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 50,612 miles in August 2021, rising to 56,662 by August 2022, 63,833 in August 2023, 70,277 in August 2024, and 75,221 by May 2025. No gaps or sudden spikes appear in the data. The clean sheet across five consecutive tests implies the previous keeper kept on top of consumables and mechanical upkeep rather than deferring work until failure. No advisories or defects were raised on any test, so the history gives no signal of recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, binding calipers, or structural corrosion. That said, a clean MOT is not a substitute for a physical inspection. A buyer should still verify underbody condition for rust, check suspension arms and coil springs for fatigue, and confirm brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth match the recorded figures. Given the sparse but fault-free record, the vehicle suggests careful ownership. The absence of repeated minor faults such as wiper blades or lamps points to routine servicing rather than minimal compliance. Treat the MOT as supporting evidence of sound condition, not a guarantee, and commission an independent pre-purchase inspection before completion.
