2018 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · HK18 AEE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, reflecting a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 8 July 2025 at 80,819 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean-sheet history across the last five annual tests suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to repairs and have not suffered from significant mechanical or structural failures that would typically trigger advisory notices. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the May 2021 test at 49,703 miles and the July 2025 test at 80,819 miles, the car covered 31,116 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern. There are no signs of long periods of stationary time which could lead to perished seals or brake corrosion, nor are there any sudden spikes in mileage that would indicate heavy-duty strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. Since the record shows no recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear and tear associated with the 80,000-mile mark. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are the only components likely to require attention at this interval. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-cared for, reducing the likelihood of encountering hidden mechanical defects that usually plague vehicles with neglected MOT histories.
