2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · GY09 DUG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 14 May 2025 at 59,588 miles, with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean pass, following an identical defect-free record in May 2024, indicates a stable and well-maintained mechanical state. The brief failure recorded on 15 May 2024 appears to be an administrative or testing anomaly, as the vehicle passed successfully just two days later at the exact same mileage without any repairs logged. The recorded mileage of 59,588 over twelve years averages approximately 4,966 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of this type. The progression of mileage is consistent and logical, showing steady annual usage rather than long periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The lack of recurring advisories throughout the documented history suggests that previous owners have addressed consumable wear promptly, preventing minor issues from escalating into major failures. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that are often neglected in low-mileage vehicles, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for surface corrosion on the subframes and brake lines, which may not always trigger an advisory until they reach a critical stage. Confirm that the tyres show even wear patterns across the tread, as the low annual mileage might mask underlying alignment issues that have not yet manifested as MOT failures.
