2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · D2 SLP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record over the last two years. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 at 107,678 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. While a minor failure occurred in August 2024 due to missing mirrors, this was a non-mechanical issue that was rectified immediately to allow a successful re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage, with roughly 14,000 miles driven between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 14,462 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025. This regularity suggests consistent road use rather than long periods ofກັບ, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and mechanical components in a Sportage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension components. The July 2022 test at 67,236 miles flagged thin brake pads and worn discs across all four corners. Although these have passed subsequent tests, the high mileage suggests these components may be nearing the end of their service life again. Inspect for uneven wear on the discs and check for any play in the front control arm bushes, as these are common points of wear on vehicles as they cross the 100,000-mile threshold.
