2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · LD19 ACY

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 61,552 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes stretching back to early 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and is currently in a mechanically sound state. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a seven year old car. Between the March 2023 test at 42,973 miles and the March 2026 test at 61,552 miles, the vehicle covered 18,579 miles. This averages to roughly 6,193 miles per year over the last three years, suggesting regular but moderate use. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of stagnation that would suggest neglect or hidden drivetrain issues. The record is remarkably clean, with only one failure noted on 8 March 2023 at 42,964 miles, which was resolved on the same day. The absence of any advisories regarding brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over the last four tests is rare for a vehicle of this age. It implies a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that do not always trigger MOT failures. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables may be nearing the end of their life despite the clean test history. Examine the underside for any superficial corrosion, though the lack of structural advisories suggests the chassis integrity remains high.
