2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · CU16 AAV

The 2016 KIA SPORTAGE demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-11-27 confirming no defects at 92,055 miles. Despite a conflicting record showing a failed test on the same date with no defects noted, the vehicle’s maintenance history lacks recurring mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the last three tests suggests consistent upkeep, though the duplicated test entry raises procedural concerns. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage, accumulating 9,206 miles per year over its 10-year lifespan. The 2024-11-20 test at 84,894 miles showed a 14,054-mile increase from the 2023-11-23 test, followed by a 7,161-mile rise to 92,055 miles by 2025. This pattern indicates regular use without prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of corrosion or component degradation. The MOT records remain sparse, with no advisories or failures beyond the ambiguous 2025 entry. A buyer should verify the suspension system for wear, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear, as minor inconsistencies often emerge with high mileage. The exhaust system and structural integrity also warrant scrutiny, as these components are prone to hidden deterioration. While the MOT history shows no immediate risks, a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of undetected issues.
