2009 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · CV59 TTU

The Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 21 February 2025 at 110,032 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the test history shows two earlier failures on 8 February 2025 at 109,769 miles and 5 August 2023 at 98,375 miles, both with no defects formally logged by the tester. Such blank failure records suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than confirmed mechanical faults, but the pattern warrants caution. The recorded mileage of 110,032 over roughly 17 years equates to about 6,472 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The odometer moved from 84,886 miles at the July 2022 test to 98,375 by August 2023, then to 101,461 in January 2024 and 109,769 by February 2025. This reflects consistent, moderate annual use with no sudden accumulation spikes. The sparse record across five tests leaves large intervals unverified, particularly between mid-2022 and late 2023. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear not captured in the clean advisories. The two failure entries without defects mean previous owners may have presented the car with unresolved issues later cleared on retest. Check structural integrity underneath for corrosion, especially around sills and subframes given the vehicle's age. Given the 2009 build and low annual mileage, standing periods may have allowed moisture-related degradation. Examine exhaust emissions during a cold start and confirm the February 2025 failure cause with the issuing garage. The history implies basic upkeep was maintained, but the unexplained failures prevent a fully clean assurance.
