2018 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · HK18 ACY

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 83,946 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of first-time passes without a single advisory or failure listed across the last five years of testing. The mileage accumulation is steady and aligns with typical usage for an eight year old vehicle. The distance covered between 2 June 2021 at 46,206 miles and 18 July 2025 at 83,946 miles shows a consistent driving pattern without any erratic gaps or sudden spikes in usage. This suggests the car has been used regularly rather than sitting idle, which generally benefits the health of the battery and rubber seals. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or chassis corrosion is rare for a vehicle of this age and mileage. It implies a high standard of preventative maintenance by the previous owners. While the MOT record is clean, a buyer should still verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements, as the MOT does not track internal engine health or drivetrain lubrication. A physical inspection should focus on common wear items that may not have triggered an MOT failure yet. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Examine the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion that the tester may have deemed negligible, though the historical data suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
