2011 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · LC61 PXE

The 2011 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 86,853 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 86,853 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 5,790 miles per year. The tests confirm light annual use: 70,736 miles in February 2023, 75,048 in February 2024, 80,120 in February 2025, and 86,853 in February 2026. That is a steady 4,000 to 6,700 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Low mileage of this kind often means longer standing periods, though the clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. The February 2025 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same day at 80,120 miles, with no defects cited for either. This points to an administrative retry rather than a genuine mechanical defect, so the owner corrected or clarified the filing without physical work needed. Given the absence of flagged items, prior keepers maintained the Sportage to a basic but sufficient standard. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody structural integrity for corrosion. Standing time at low mileage can hide perished rubber components or surface rust not yet severe enough for an MOT advisory. Verify the 2025 dual entry with DVSA to confirm no omitted defect data before purchase.
