2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · FN63 FSU

The 2013 Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 29 July 2025 at 119,435 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults in the official record. Each annual test cleared clean once the car was presented again days after an initial failure. Mileage rose from 106,573 in June 2023 to 113,495 by July 2024, then to 119,435 by July 2025, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year across that span and sitting below the 9,187 annual norm for its age. The DVSA data is sparse, with only five entries and no recorded defects, so the clean sheets give little insight into wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion beyond the tester finding nothing reportable. Two failed tests in July 2024 and July 2025 list no defects, meaning the car was turned away for administrative or presentation reasons rather than mechanical condition, then passed within days at near-identical mileage. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and underbody corrosion in person, as a 13-year-old vehicle can hide rust the annual test did not flag. Check the front coil springs, track-rod ends, and rear trailing-arm bushes for age-related fatigue not captured in a pass with no advisories. Verify the brake calipers are not binding and the exhaust emissions stay within limits under cold start, since the record offers no evidence either way on consumable or drivetrain condition.
