2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · FG63 JSV

The 2013 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 100,647 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every recorded annual examination resulting in a pass and no advisories logged for worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components. The only irregularity is a failed entry logged on 1 July 2025 at 100,646 miles with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass at one mile more; this points to an administrative or data-recording anomaly at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression sits close to typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,742 miles per year against the 100,647 miles recorded. The tests show 64,325 miles on 21 January 2022, then a jump to 82,285 miles by 10 July 2023, 92,185 miles on 3 July 2024, and 100,647 miles on 1 July 2025. That gap between early 2022 and mid-2023 covers about 18,000 miles in seventeen months, a slightly elevated but unremarkable rate. The sparse record, with only five entries and no flagged consumable wear such as tyres or wiper blades, suggests the prior keeper kept basic upkeep current without triggering tester advisories. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record shows no advisories but does not confirm absence of early rust on sills or subframes common to this era. The braking system, coil springs, and suspension arms warrant a physical check for binding calipers or degraded bushes that a no-defect pass may overlook at visual test depth. Given the clean history, the Sportage reads as a low-risk purchase, yet independent verification of exhaust emissions and drivetrain condition remains sensible at six-figure mileage.
