2007 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · CU07 EHW

The 2007 Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 24 October 2024 at 142,060 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle cleared four of its last five annual tests without any advisories or listed faults. Two consecutive failures in October 2022 and October 2024 show no recorded defects, which points to administrative or unlogged presentation issues rather than escalating mechanical decay. Recorded mileage rose from 123,925 on 07 October 2022 to 142,060 by 24 October 2024, a gain of 18,135 miles over two years or roughly 9,000 miles per year. This sits slightly above the lifetime average of 7,477 miles per year and reflects consistent private use rather than long standing periods. The sparse record shows clean passes in 2022, 2023, and 2024 with no corrosion, suspension bush, or brake disc concerns flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 19-year age and typical UK salt exposure. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, yet absence of records is not proof of condition. Verify the reason for the two zero-defect failures, as repeated presentation without listed faults suggests the owner may have addressed minor consumable wear like tyres or wiper blades off-record before retest.
