2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FM19 NFJ

The 2019 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 20 August 2025 at 80,676 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The DVSA record shows a clean sequence of passes from 2022 through 2025, though a failed test on the same date as the final pass at identical mileage suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical defect, as no faults were listed on either entry. No advisories or defects appear at any stage. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,525 per year against the 80,676 recorded, which is typical for a seven-year-old vehicle of this class. The tests show 38,796 miles in July 2022, 50,796 in July 2023, 66,679 in August 2024, and 80,676 in August 2025, giving a consistent 12,000 to 14,000 miles between tests with no standing gaps or abrupt accumulation. The sparse, clean record implies the previous owner kept to scheduled use without neglect, though the absence of advisories means worn consumables were likely renewed before each test rather than flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as the MOT record offers no visibility of components approaching limits between tests. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be checked given the vehicle's age, even though no rust was noted officially. The twin 20 August 2025 entries warrant confirmation with DVLA that the failure was a paperwork matter and not a suppressed fault.
