2013 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · NA63 CKX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a successful MOT test on March 20, 2025 at 101,987 miles. This pass occurred with no recorded defects, immediately following a failure just eight days prior at 101,971 miles. While the specific reason for that final failure is not documented, the proximity of the dates suggests a minor mechanical or consumable issue that was rectified quickly. The overall trend indicates a vehicle that is maintained to a passing standard over the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,845 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 18,028 miles recorded between February 2023 and February 2024, followed by a further 24,952 miles in the year leading to the March 2025 test. This suggests a period of higher usage rather than long periods of standing. At a total of just over 100,000 miles, the car avoids excessive wear that would typically accelerate the failure of drivetrain components or suspension bushings. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for this generation of Sportage. A buyer should check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframes, which often goes undetected by testers until failing a test. Given the recent mileage increase, verifying the condition of the shock absorbers and the thickness of the brake discs is essential to ensure the higher annual mileage has not stressed these components beyond their limits.
