2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · LB65 UGP

The most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 134,224 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The earlier failure on 9 October 2025, also at 134,099 miles, listed no defects, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a mechanical issue; overall the trend appears stable. At ten years old, the Sportage has accumulated 134,224 miles, averaging roughly 13,400 miles per year. Between the 19 February 2024 test at 112,613 miles and the October 2025 test, mileage rose by 21,600 miles in just over twenty months, confirming a consistent high‑usage pattern without any evident periods of inactivity. No gaps or sudden spikes are visible in the record, but the mileage is notably above average for its age, implying accelerated wear on consumables. Given the mileage, a buyer should examine the suspension components for worn bushes or deteriorating coil springs, and verify that brake discs and pads show even wear without scoring or excessive rust. Tyre tread depth, sidewall condition, and alignment should be checked, as high mileage often leads to uneven wear. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and scan for any hidden structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and chassis. While the MOT history reports no recorded defects, a thorough visual and functional assessment of these areas will confirm whether the vehicle’s high‑kilometre life has been managed responsibly.
