2014 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · MT64 ACV

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 31 October 2025 at 75,470 miles returned no defects or advisories. This consistent streak of clean passes indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that critical safety components are currently operating within acceptable parameters under DVSA testing conditions. The mileage pattern is exceptionally consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the October 2021 test at 35,720 miles and the October 2025 test at 75,470 miles, the car covered roughly 40,000 miles at a steady interval. This usage profile suggests regular short-distance driving rather than long periods of standing, which helps to prevent premature wear on the drivetrain and suspension components while avoiding the degradation of rubber seals and hoses due to age. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Given the vehicle's age, the suspension control arms and coil springs should be checked for hairline fractures or perished bushings, as these often fail without triggering an MOT until they snap. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-annual mileage can sometimes lead to rust buildup on the rotors if the car is not used frequently.
