2019 KIA Sportage GT-Line Crdi ISG 1.6L Diesel · LF69 EYV

The most recent MOT test on 29 August 2025 at 91,091 miles confirmed the vehicle as roadworthy with no defects recorded. This suggests the car has maintained a stable roadworthiness status over the past 12 months, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying wear. The gap between tests—just over 18 months—is within the standard MOT cycle, but the lack of any recorded issues in either test implies either consistent maintenance or deferred attention to potential wear. Buyers should note that the final pass date is now over a year old, meaning the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection since then. The recorded mileage of 91,091 miles over seven years equates to an average of approximately 13,000 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2023 and 2025 tests, where the car accumulated 24,240 miles in just under two years—a rate that suggests either heavy use or a period of consistent driving. The previous test at 66,851 miles in October 2023 indicates no major issues were present at that stage, but the accelerated mileage since then raises questions about how components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers have been managed. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records means any accelerated wear would not have been formally documented. Given the high mileage and the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical high-wear areas. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these components degrade progressively with mileage. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or corrosion, particularly around joints and the catalytic converter, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Structural integrity, including underbody and wheel arch corrosion, should also be assessed, as these issues often develop silently over time. The lack of advisories in the MOT history does not guarantee these areas are free from deterioration.
