2009 KIA Sportage 2.0L Petrol · BK09 AEM

The 2009 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 April 2025 at 77,053 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year run of clean MOT outcomes from April 2021 through April 2025. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The record climbs from 71,365 miles in April 2021 to 77,053 miles by April 2025, an increase of just 5,688 miles across four years, averaging under 1,500 miles annually. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; each test falls within a tight April window with increments of roughly 1,000 to 1,500 miles. Such low, consistent figures suggest prolonged standing periods rather than regular daily driving. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles left idle often develop perishing rubber and surface rust unseen in a pass-only MOT history. Brake discs and calipers warrant checks for binding or pitting after long dormancy, despite no advisories logged. The absence of any recorded advisories across the full sequence implies previous owners addressed wear before each test or the car saw gentle use. Verify service history and underside condition before purchase, since the clean record offers no warning on consumable ageing.
