2014 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · BD64 LWN

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on May 6, 2026 at 89,211 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle remains in a sound mechanical state. This stable trend has persisted over the last five years, as the car has avoided the recurring mechanical failures or structural advisories that typically affect SUVs of this age and mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-maintained but not overused vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 54,489 miles and March 2024 at 70,660 miles, the vehicle covered 16,171 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. The jump of over 10,000 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests a recent increase in frequency, but the overall figure remains low enough to reduce the stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT record shows no advisories or failures, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Sportage model. The buyer should specifically check the rubber bushings in the front suspension arms for cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, verifying the absence of surface corrosion on the rear s members and exhaust system is also prudent, as the MOT only identifies structural decay once it has reached a point of failure.
