2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · DA19 FEF

The 2019 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 March 2026 at 80,706 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical 11,500-mile average for a seven-year-old car. The records show 17,072 miles at the March 2022 test, rising to 34,491 by March 2023, 51,892 by March 2024, 67,793 by March 2025, and 80,706 by March 2026. The year-on-year increments sit between roughly 13,000 and 16,000 miles, with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA history is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or corrosion at any stage. A clean five-year MOT run with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. That said, the absence of recorded faults offers no insight into component condition beneath test thresholds. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of brake disc thickness, coil spring integrity, and underbody structural corrosion, since these items can degrade without triggering an MOT failure. Given the 80,706-mile odometer and the car's age, expect normal wear on clutch, dampers, and cambelt if applicable. The fault-free record is a positive signal but not a substitute for a physical check of suspension articulation and emissions before purchase.
