2014 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · MT14 RMV

The most recent MOT history, dated 2026-05-22, shows the vehicle passed, but the report detailed several specific issues. The primary risk pattern involves corrosion on the central rear lower subframe and wear on the rear brake discs and pads on both sides. There were also issues noted regarding the track rod end ball joint dust covers being insecure on both the nearside and offside front ends. The condition trend appears to be stable in terms of the specific defects noted, as the most recent report lists existing wear items rather than new, severe failures. The mileage of 152,365 miles for a 2014 model indicates higher than average wear for this age, suggesting the components mentioned, such as brakes and suspension parts, have likely experienced significant use. A buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly, paying close attention to the condition of the rear brake discs and pads. They must also check the suspension components, specifically looking for any signs of wear or looseness around the front track rod ends. Finally, a detailed inspection of the central rear lower subframe for corrosion is essential.
