2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · FN69 KVE

The 2019 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 58,115 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults across the vehicle's life. The upkeep pattern is clean and consistent, with no worsening mechanical issues flagged by any examiner. Recorded mileage sits at 58,115 against a seven-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 8,300 miles per year and matching typical use for the age. The records show a large jump of 13,361 miles between the April 2023 test at 20,252 miles and the March 2024 test at 36,145 miles, then a further 13,361 miles to March 2025 at 49,506 miles, before 8,609 miles to the 2026 test. The MOT history is sparse but entirely clean, with only a failed entry on 26 March 2024 at 36,145 miles that carries no recorded defect, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns across the five entries. The absence of advisories on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades implies previous owners addressed wear before each test rather than leaving items to be noted. A buyer should still confirm in person that the underside shows no structural rust and that the braking system and coil springs remain free of age-related degradation not yet captured by DVSA testing. Given the fault-free record, the Sportage requires only standard pre-purchase checks: verify service history matches the low annual mileage, inspect for prior paint or panel work, and road-test for any binding calipers or drivetrain noise the static MOT cannot reveal.
