2013 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · NG62 ETF

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 14 January 2026 at 117,678 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate re-testing following failures. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed an initial test only to pass two days later with a negligible increase in mileage. This suggests the previous owners were proactive in rectifying minor defects, such as bulbs, wipers, or minor brake adjustments, rather than suffering from deep-seated mechanical neglect. At 117,678 miles over 13 years, the Sportage averages approximately 9,052 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent across the records, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,400 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular usage pattern is generally beneficial for mechanical components, as it helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and seals that often occurs with long periods of standing. While the clean MOT history indicates no recurring advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear on this generation of Sportage. Given the mileage and age, check the chassis for corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, as structural integrity can degrade at this stage. You should also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of tearing or fatigue, as the MOT test does not always catch early wear in these areas until they reach a failure point.
