2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · NC68 WNH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its documented history. The most recent test conducted on 26 October 2024 at 70,613 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This clean record suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a professional standard, ensuring that mechanical and safety components remained within acceptable parameters throughout the DVSA inspection process. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between January 2022 at 39,256 miles and April 2023 at 52,421 miles, the car covered 13,165 miles. The subsequent interval between April 2023 and October 2024 saw another 18,192 miles recorded. This steady usage indicates regular road operation, which is often beneficial for preventing the seal failures and brake caliper corrosion typically associated with long periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no recurring structural or mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on components subject to wear at this mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often begin to degrade around the 70,000-mile mark. Given the lack of advisories, checking the thickness of the brake discs and the presence of rust on the exhaust will ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed since the last official test.
