2011 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AF61 YSO

The 2011 Kia Sportage presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 163,336 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on the same dates in 2024 and 2025, both showing no defects recorded, point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than any worsening vehicle condition. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,889 miles per year against the 163,336 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 143,080 miles at the 17 November 2023 test to 152,232 miles by 16 November 2024, then to 163,336 miles by 21 November 2025, giving a steady yearly increase near 9,000 to 11,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The clean record across those dates shows no sparse periods that would hint at prolonged storage or deferred use. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of core wear components given the age and mileage, despite the absence of recorded advisories. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and calipers warrant physical checks for fatigue or binding that a no-defect test may not capture on the day. Structural integrity beneath sills and subframes should be examined for corrosion, as the MOT entries offered no comment on underside condition across the period. The dual fail-pass entries on 16 November 2024 and 21 November 2025 with zero defects suggest the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly rather than neglecting mechanical upkeep. No recurring consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blade failures appears in the chain, implying basic servicing was kept current. Verify the V5C and test certificates match those dates before purchase to confirm the anomalies were clerical only.
