2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · CU63 RYB

The 2013 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 February 2026 at 62,724 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 28 April 2025 at 58,672 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 62,724 against a 13-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,825 miles per year. The April 2024 entries show a failed test on 4 April at 51,110 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on 6 April at 51,114 miles. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual increments remain low and steady: 46,222 miles in April 2023, 51,114 in April 2024, 58,672 in April 2025. The sparse, clean record points to light use and no rapid accumulation of wear. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low mileage combined with intermittent use can mask perished rubber components and surface corrosion not captured in a pass result. The April 2024 fail with zero defects warrants confirmation that no outstanding test anomaly exists on the DVSA portal. No structural integrity concerns, exhaust emissions failures, or binding calipers appear in the record. The history implies a previous owner who maintained statutory testing but the absence of advisories across five tests limits insight into consumable condition. Verify tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition visually before purchase.
