2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · LD19 ABN

The vehicle is currently not in a verifiable state of roadworthiness as the most recent MOT record dates back to March 2022. While the car passed its last test on 7 March 2022 at 27,347 miles, it has been over four years since a certified inspector validated its mechanical condition. The maintenance trend is impossible to establish as a stable or improving pattern due to this significant gap in testing. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,907 miles per year. The record shows the car covered only 85 miles between the failed test on 3 March 2022 and the pass four days later. This suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which often introduces risks not captured by low mileage figures. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and tyres. Long periods of standing frequently lead to binding calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and brake disc corrosion. Because the vehicle has not been tested since early 2022, the current state of the suspension bushes and rubber seals is unknown and could have degraded through inactivity. The lack of recorded defects in 2022 is positive, but the four year void in the MOT history is a critical red flag. A full mechanical survey is required to check for fluid leaks and battery health before this vehicle can be considered roadworthy.
