2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · MA64 ACU

The 2014 KIA SPORTAGE demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no critical defects recorded across six consecutive MOT tests, the most recent of which was on 2025-09-08 at 94,416 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 passed without recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no signs of recurring problems in brakes, suspension, or structural integrity. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,868 miles annually. Tests spaced 12 months apart show gradual, predictable mileage increases, with no extended gaps or sudden spikes that might indicate neglect or excessive wear. The 2024-09-19 test at 86,793 miles and 2023-09-19 at 79,888 miles confirm a steady pattern, reinforcing the impression of regular, controlled use. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT consequences. Inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion, and check the exhaust system for leaks or rust, which can develop unnoticed. While the MOT history shows no red flags, a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s structural soundness and ensure no hidden issues exist beyond the recorded tests.
