2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · LD19 ABO

The 2019 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 March 2026 at 49,169 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. Mileage has accumulated steadily and in line with typical use for a seven-year-old vehicle. The records show 25,143 miles at the 21 March 2022 test, rising to 31,320 by 18 March 2023, 37,530 by 21 March 2024, 43,475 by 15 March 2025, and 49,169 by the 2026 test. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 6,700 miles per year with no sudden jumps or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in detail because every test returned a pass with no advisories logged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the clean sheet. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion at any point, so no recurring fault pattern exists to chase. The absence of advisories does not confirm component condition, only that items met the pass threshold on the day. Given the low annual mileage, rubber components such as suspension mounts and door seals may have aged through inactivity rather than wear. Verify underbody condition for surface corrosion and check tyre sidewalls for cracking from standing. The Sportage's recorded history implies a careful prior owner, but physical verification of drivetrain and brake condition remains sound practice before purchase.
