2016 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · J23 LDA

This Kia Sportage demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT test on 6 August 2025 at 63,880 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is typical for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,388 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last three years, increasing from 51,485 miles in June 2023 to 63,880 miles by August 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or periods of prolonged standing that would suggest neglect or unusual usage patterns. The absence of any advisories across four consecutive tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. The tester flagged no issues regarding brake disc thickness, suspension bush wear, or exhaust emissions. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical faults in the DVSA record, which suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should focus on standard age-related consumables that MOT tests occasionally overlook. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the wiper blades. While the record is clean, a buyer should verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the engine has been cared for beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
