2016 KIA Sportage 3 ISG Crdi 1.7L Diesel · LRZ 2514

The 2016 KIA SPORTAGE 3 ISG CRDI demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent May 2025 MOT at 111,547 miles. The prior 2024 test at 108,233 miles also passed without issues, confirming consistent maintenance. While a November 2022 MOT failed with no defects listed, this anomaly does not indicate systemic faults. The vehicle’s recent history suggests reliable upkeep, with no recurring mechanical or structural concerns flagged. Mileage progression aligns with average annual usage of 11,155 miles, though a two-year gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests—covering 16,274 miles—may reflect periods of reduced use or delayed servicing. The 2021 test at 66,913 miles showed no defects, reinforcing a clean record for the majority of the vehicle’s lifespan. This pattern suggests the owner prioritized compliance without overt signs of neglect, though the 2022 fail warrants scrutiny for potential overlooked issues. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear, as higher-than-average mileage in 2024 may have accelerated consumable degradation. Structural integrity remains unchallenged in the records, but a thorough underbody check for corrosion is advisable, especially if the car was stored or driven in harsh conditions. No major advisories are documented, but physical inspection is critical to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
