2016 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · JR52 LHR

This 2016 Kia Sportage maintains a clean and stable roadworthiness record, having passed five consecutive annual inspections without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test on 4 February 2026 at 103,419 miles confirms the vehicle is currently in a fully compliant state. This consistent history suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance and diligent ownership, as the absence of recurring mechanical failures indicates that consumable parts have been replaced before reaching a point of failure. The vehicle has covered 103,419 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,342 miles annually. This usage pattern is remarkably consistent, with the odometer increasing by roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles between each yearly test. There are no periods of inactivity or erratic mileage spikes in the provided history, which implies the car has been used regularly for consistent journeys rather than sitting idle for extended durations. This steady accumulation of miles is generally preferable for modern diesel and petrol engines, as it prevents the issues often associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. While the MOT history is exemplary, a physical inspection should focus on components that fall outside the scope of a standard test. Given the current mileage, verify the condition of the clutch and dual-mass flywheel, as these are common wear items on this model that do not appear in the MOT data. Check the suspension bushings and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or leaking fluid, as these components naturally degrade over six-figure mileages. Inspect the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframes and ensure the service history documentation supports the mechanical reliability demonstrated by the MOT record.
