2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · ND19 AAF

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 85,984 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a seven year old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between 12 April 2022 and 16 October 2023, where the odometer rose from 56,912 to 81,847 miles. This indicates a period of heavy usage, likely involving long-distance motorway driving, which generally puts less strain on the engine and clutch than short urban trips. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear consumables. A buyer should check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are not always flagged until they reach a critical limit. The suspension bushes and coil springs should also be examined for signs of fatigue or cracking, given the total mileage of 85,984. The absence of any recorded advisories over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While this implies a diligent owner, it is prudent to verify service records for oil changes and filter replacements to ensure the internal engine health matches the clean external MOT record. Check for any signs of underbody corrosion, particularly if the car spent time in coastal areas.
