2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · BL62 AEJ

This 2013 Kia Sportage presents a remarkably clean and stable maintenance record. The most recent MOT test on 31 March 2026 at 97,446 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests dating back to March 2023 all returned clean passes with zero advisories. This pattern indicates consistent roadworthiness and suggests the vehicle has been diligently maintained, with no developing faults or deferred repairs evident in the official history. The recorded mileage of 97,446 miles over approximately 13 years equates to an average of 7,496 miles per annum, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. The annual mileage increments are consistent, ranging from roughly 7,000 to 8,500 miles between each test, with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes. This steady usage profile implies regular commuting or mixed driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. Given the absence of any recorded failures or advisories across five consecutive tests, there are no specific mechanical or structural areas highlighted for concern from the MOT data alone. However, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection of common wear items for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Pay close attention to suspension bushes and anti-roll bar links for signs of deterioration, check brake discs for lipping and pad wear, and examine the underside for any corrosion on subframes or suspension mounting points. The clean history is a strong positive indicator, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains advisable to confirm the condition of consumables not captured by an MOT pass.
