2013 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · AO63 UJS

The roadworthiness status of this Kia Sportage is currently stable, underscored by an unblemished test history across the last five years. In the most recent test conducted on December 6, 2025 at 115,961 miles, the vehicle passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This clean outcome mirrors the preceding tests from December 2024, December 2023, December 2022, and November 2021, none of which produced any failure points or advisory notes. Such a run indicates that standard wear items have been addressed promptly prior to testing, resulting in a consistent maintenance trend without lingering structural or mechanical regressions. The recorded mileage of 115,961 miles over approximately thirteen years aligns with typical UK driving patterns, averaging around 8,920 miles annually. The intervals between successive December tests remain regular and uninterrupted, pointing to consistent annual usage without prolonged periods of storage or excessive high-mileage accumulation. Because the MOT data contains no historical advisories regarding corrosion, suspension components, or brake degradation, the test record itself remains exceptionally sparse in terms of documented defects. A prospective buyer should still execute a thorough physical inspection despite the unblemished digital record, focusing specifically on consumable and high-wear mechanical assemblies native to this platform. The suspension dampers, coil springs, and subframe mountings require careful physical scrutiny on a ramp to check for hidden corrosion or bushing wear that testers may not have flagged. Furthermore, the braking system discs, pads, and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, alongside a comprehensive check of the drivetrain and exhaust routing for age-related degradation.
