2007 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · FH07 PHK

The Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 9 December 2021 at 151,650 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply static due to a lack of subsequent data. That test sits over four and a half years behind today's date of 8 July 2026, so the vehicle's current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the official record alone. A single clean pass provides no evidence of recurring faults or escalating mechanical risk across the ownership period. The recorded mileage of 151,650 at the December 2021 test equates to roughly 7,982 miles per year against the vehicle's 2007 build, a figure consistent with typical use for a 19-year-old SUV. The supplied history contains only this one entry, so no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps can be charted between tests. The absence of earlier failures or advisories suggests either disciplined upkeep or simply that no other records fall within the provided window. A buyer must treat the 2021 pass as expired and commission a fresh inspection before any purchase. With no advisories logged on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural corrosion, the record offers no prior warning on those items, yet a 19-year-old Kia Sportage at this age carries inherent risk of underbody rust and worn drivetrain mounts from standing unused since the last test. Prior to commitment, a technician should physically assess the exhaust system for internal rot, check the rear brake calipers for seizure after prolonged inactivity, and measure tyre sidewall condition given the extended lay-up. The clean MOT gives no basis to suspect neglect, but the four-year silence since testing means all consumables and structural integrity remain unverified by DVSA data.
