2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · DF68 LPN

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 41,292 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to December 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of immediate compliance without the need for corrective repairs between tests. The mileage is notably low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,899 miles per year. A significant period of low usage occurred between 20 November 2024 and 4 April 2025, where the odometer moved only 708 miles over nearly five months. More recently, the vehicle saw its highest period of activity between April 2025 and March 2026, covering 9,364 miles. This shift suggests a change in usage patterns rather than erratic ownership. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across five consecutive tests is rare. There are no recurring faults to suggest systemic mechanical failure or neglected upkeep. The record implies a previous owner who prioritised preventative maintenance or used the vehicle for light, urban duties. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer should check for perished rubber seals and the condition of the tyres, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age-related cracking rather than tread wear. Checking for battery health is also advisable given the periods of low activity recorded in the history.
