2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · FH16 GPO

The 2016 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 84,010 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year against the 84,010 miles recorded. The records show steady accumulation: 50,499 miles at the December 2021 test, 55,226 by November 2022, 69,327 in December 2023, 77,131 in February 2025, and 84,010 by February 2026. No gaps exceed thirteen months and no sudden jumps in usage appear, indicating consistent rather than sporadic operation. No advisories or failures appear in any test, so the DVSA data reveals no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns. The absence of flagged items suggests previous owners kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfied testers without noted wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and consumable components such as tyres and wiper blades, since the MOT record does not capture gradual wear outside test thresholds. The clean history offers reassurance, but in-person checks of suspension and braking condition remain prudent before purchase.
