2007 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · FN07 YMM

The Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 10 November 2021 at 164,656 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the maintenance trend neither improving nor worsening but simply static due to the absence of any further test data. Relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, this clean pass stands almost four years and eight months stale, so the vehicle's current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the official record alone. The odometer read 164,656 miles at that November 2021 test, equating to roughly 8,666 miles per year across the vehicle's nineteen years of life, a figure in line with typical private use for a 2007 model. The single-entry history shows no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps, yet the sparseness means we cannot trace owner care beyond one clean result. A car of this age and mileage with only one logged test invites scrutiny over whether it was laid up or simply untested since. Given the lone 2021 pass carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the record itself raises no red flags on consumables or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody for structural rust, check the coil springs and binding calipers for wear after prolonged standing, and verify the tyre tread and wiper blades given the elapsed time. The previous keeper logged no faults, but the four-year void since testing means mechanical condition is now a matter of physical verification rather than documentary assurance.
