2018 KIA Sportage 3 ISG Crdi 1.7L Diesel · JU06 GAL

The 2025-10-04 MOT at 72,353 miles confirms the 2018 Kia Sportage 3 ISG CRDI is presently roadworthy, with no defects recorded. All three tests—2022-11-15 (44,894 miles), 2023-11-17 (53,741 miles) and 2025-10-04 (72,353 miles)—show a consistent pass with zero defects, indicating a stable maintenance record and no emerging mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation over the three years averages roughly 9,000 miles per year, aligning with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. The interval from 2022‑11‑15 to 2023‑11‑17 covers 8,847 miles in 12 months, while the subsequent period to the 2025 test spans about 19 months and adds 18,612 miles, suggesting steady rather than accelerated use and no unexplained periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that commonly show wear despite the clean record. Inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, verification that the brake discs are free of scoring and that the rear calipers are not binding, and a visual check for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches are essential. Examination of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion and assessment of tyre tread depth and even wear will also reveal whether basic upkeep has been maintained. Overall, the vehicle’s documented history points to reliable operation and consistent care, but a thorough in‑person inspection of the highlighted mechanical items remains advisable before purchase.
