2011 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · MA11 ABO

The Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 19 March 2026 at 132,736 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with four passes across the last three test cycles and no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any point. The repeated pass-fail-pass pattern in March 2024 and March 2026, where the failure recorded no defects, suggests administrative re-tests rather than unresolved mechanical issues. Mileage sat at 118,478 miles for the March 2024 test and rose to 126,524 miles by March 2025, then to 132,736 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 8,200 miles added per year, closely matching the vehicle's 15-year average of 8,849 miles annually. The record shows no sudden accumulation or prolonged standing gaps, and the clean test history across all dates implies the previous owners kept basic statutory testing current without deferred entries. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT pass criteria. At 132,736 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant physical measurement. Drivetrain mounts and underbody corrosion around sills and subframes should be checked, as the DVSA test omitted advisories that often precede failure. The lack of recorded faults across five tests points to a vehicle presented for testing in compliant condition, though a no-defect failure on 18 March 2026 and 20 March 2024 hints at clerical or documentation mismatch rather than owner neglect. A pre-purchase check of service stamps against the 8,849-mile yearly use will confirm whether interval oil changes and timing belt history align with the odometer.
