2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FH16 NDU

The 2016 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 30 May 2025 at 63,113 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes once minor administrative re-tests were cleared. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear across the recorded history. The odometer stood at 45,095 miles for the 23 March 2023 pass, rose to 54,591 miles at the 21 March 2024 failure and 54,698 miles at the 27 March 2024 pass, then reached 63,113 miles by May 2025. That equates to roughly 9,600 miles in the first year and 8,400 in the second, close to the 6,300 per year average for a ten-year-old vehicle. The sparse record shows only two failure entries, both on 30 May 2025 and 21 March 2024, yet neither listed any defects, suggesting clerical or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the low annual mileage implies the car may have stood idle for periods that encourage corrosion and seized components. The absence of advisories across all tests means no tester flagged tyre tread, exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns, but DVSA data alone cannot confirm underlying wear hidden without fault codes. Given the clean history and typical mileage, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. Verify the V5C and service book against the May 2025 pass to confirm the recorded 63,113 miles reflects genuine use rather than a late-entry correction.
