2013 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · LG13 FCF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness characterized by a consistent and stable maintenance trend. As of the most recent inspection conducted on 21 November 2025 at 48,910 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This completes a sequence of clean passes spanning the last five years, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met safety and emission standards without major mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is significantly low for a vehicle of 13 years age, averaging approximately 3,762 miles per annum. Between the September 2021 test at 46,181 miles and the December 2024 test at 48,709 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,528 miles, suggesting very light usage or long periods of stationaryion. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often necessitates checking for the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to age rather than active use. While the MOT history is exemplar, a prospective buyer should perform a physical inspection of components common to low-mileage vehicles. Specific attention should be paid to the condition of the suspension bushes and tyres, which can perish or crack from age despite having significant tread. Additionally, the brake discs and calipers should be examined for corrosion or pitting that may have occurred due to infrequent use, and the underbody should be checked for structural rust to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental damage.
