2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · FG19 MVN

The 2019 Kia Sportage presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 23 June 2025 at 58,169 miles. No defects were recorded at that test, nor at the preceding three assessments. The record contains a notable anomaly in the December 2023 test at 47,166 miles, where the vehicle failed despite no defects being documented. This discrepancy typically points to an administrative error or an aborted test rather than a mechanical fault, especially given the immediate pass recorded on 26 January 2024 at 47,539 miles. Prospective buyers must note that the current MOT certificate expired on 23 June 2026, meaning the vehicle currently lacks a valid roadworthiness certificate. The vehicle has accumulated 58,169 miles over roughly seven years, averaging approximately 8,310 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage. The mileage progression shows a relatively consistent accumulation pattern, moving from 40,819 miles in January 2023 to 50,283 miles by July 2024. A more pronounced mileage jump occurred between the July 2024 test and the June 2025 test, where the odometer advanced by 7,886 miles in just under twelve months. This recent uptick suggests a shift toward higher mileage use, though it remains within normal parameters for the vehicle's age. Given the absence of recurring mechanical advisories, the physical inspection should focus on the general wear associated with the recent higher mileage accumulation. Examine the condition of the brake discs and pads, as increased mileage often accelerates consumable wear. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, alongside a thorough assessment of the exhaust system for corrosion or gas leaks. Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, looking for uneven wear that might indicate tracking issues. A comprehensive underbody inspection remains essential to verify the structural integrity of the chassis and subframe, ensuring no corrosion has taken hold despite the clean MOT record.
