2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · LA19 EBV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 68,009 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the emergence of chronic mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a seven year old vehicle. The odometer rose from 33,376 miles in May 2022 to 68,009 miles by June 2025. This represents a steady increase of approximately 11,000 to 12,000 miles per year over the last three years, showing no evidence of prolonged standing or erratic usage patterns that would typically accelerate wear on the drivetrain or seals. A single failure is noted on 12 June 2023 at 46,807 miles, though the vehicle passed on the same day. The lack of specific defect data for this failure is unusual, but the immediate rectification suggests a minor issue was resolved quickly. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks across the entire record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on general consumables that do not always trigger MOT failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the absence of advisories since 2022 suggests these components may be nearing the end of their natural service life given the 35,000 miles covered since the May 2022 test.
