2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · AP13 FJF

The 2025‑06‑24 MOT at 137,351 miles passed without any recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. A failure on 30 June 2023 at 105,272 miles was recorded, but the subsequent test on the same day at 105,727 miles passed, indicating that the issue was corrected before the next inspection. The mileage trajectory shows steady, high usage: from 87,302 miles in June 2022 to 122,314 miles in June 2024 and finally to 137,351 miles in June 2025, an average increase of about 15,000 miles per year, well above the typical 10,565 miles per year for a 13‑year‑old vehicle. No extended periods of inactivity are evident, as each annual test covers roughly 10,000‑17,000 miles. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension system, looking for worn bushes, corroded coil springs and any binding in the rear brake calipers, while also checking the condition of the brake discs and pads for scoring or excessive wear. Tyre tread depth and sidewall condition merit close inspection, as high mileage accelerates consumable wear. Inspect the chassis, wheel arches and underbody for rust that could compromise structural integrity, and verify any prior advisories that may have been issued despite the absence of recorded defects.
