2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · EY69 VDD

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record. The most recent MOT on 11 April 2025 at 47,780 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests, indicating that the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a seven year old vehicle. Between August 2022 and April 2025, the odometer rose from 29,903 miles to 47,780 miles. This represents a steady increase of roughly 17,877 miles over two and a half years, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber components and battery health. The absence of advisories across multiple tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. There are no recorded trends of failing on common Sportage issues such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, which often points to minor administrative errors or the immediate rectification of trivial items. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that the MOT may not flag as critical until they reach a limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean record implies these have been managed but does not provide specific wear measurements. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes align with the mileage growth, as the MOT only confirms basic roadworthiness rather than internal engine health.
