2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · GU13 ADX

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT test on 12 February 2026 at 76,405 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a four-year trend of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a state of readiness without the recurring failures often seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage is notably low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 5,877 miles per year. Between 24 February 2022 and 16 February 2023, the car covered 10,542 miles, but the annual accumulation has since dropped to approximately 1,100 miles per year. This suggests a shift in usage patterns, moving from regular commuting to very light use or periods of standing over the last three years. While the MOT history is devoid of mechanical failures, the low annual mileage and the age of the vehicle necessitate a targeted physical inspection. Long periods of inactivity can lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should check for flat spots on the tyres and inspect the suspension bushes for dry rot or cracking. Attention should also be paid to the underbody for surface corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis beyond the pass result. Checking the fluid levels and the condition of the battery is advisable given the recent low-mileage trend. Overall, the data suggests a well-maintained vehicle with a very clean technical history.
