2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · DA14 RYG

The 2014 Kia Sportage presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 30 April 2025 at 61,546 miles returned a clean pass, confirming the maintenance trend has remained consistent and free of escalating faults over the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 61,546 against an age of roughly twelve years, equating to a low average of about 5,129 miles per year. The history shows light and irregular use rather than neglect: the car covered 6,368 miles between June 2021 and September 2022, then only 10,419 miles across the following thirty months to April 2025. A fourteen-month gap separates the September 2022 and March 2024 tests, suggesting the vehicle stood idle or was barely driven during that window. No rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps appear in the data. Given the absence of any advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the DVSA record alone reveals no outstanding mechanical risks. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for latent rust, as long stationary periods can conceal moisture damage not caught in a pass result. Verify the service history matches the low mileage and check tyre sidewall condition, as aged rubber degrades irrespective of tread depth on a lightly used vehicle.
