2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · LT68 LCO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 6 November 2025 at 70,757 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met all regulatory standards. This stable maintenance trend suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that prevents minor mechanical failures during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,845 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 43,390 miles and November 2025 at 70,757 miles, the car covered 27,367 miles, which aligns with typical annual usage cycles. The intervals between tests are regular, usually falling 5,500 to 7,000 miles apart, suggesting a predictable use pattern rather than long periods of stagnation. This limits wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the record shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of consumable items that the MOT does not monitor in depth. Check the condition of the brake pads and discs for uneven wear, as these can degrade regardless of a clean MOT pass. Given the age and the clean history, the primary focus should be on verifying the integrity of the rubber components and checking for any minor fluid leaks that may have developed between the annual inspections.
