2013 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · LM13 JMX

The 2013 Kia Sportage presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 82,532 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,349 miles, typical for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show consistent annual use: 68,172 miles in May 2022, 75,061 by September 2023, 78,534 by September 2024, and 82,532 by September 2025. A gap exists between the May 2022 and September 2023 tests spanning over sixteen months, though both passed without fault. The sparse four-entry history shows no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any stage. Given the clean MOT trail, no recurring mechanical or structural faults emerge that would signal deferred upkeep. The absence of advisories across four tests suggests the previous keeper addressed wear before each examination rather than letting items slip to notification stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, coil springs, and underbody for corrosion, since MOT passes do not certify component life remaining. Verify service history independently, as the test record alone confirms compliance rather than routine maintenance quality.
