2016 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · NL66 NHT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 4 December 2025 at 69,319 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable and healthy mechanical status. The maintenance trend is positive, as the vehicle successfully rectified the brake and visibility failures noted in May 2025. The absence of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the necessary remedial work was completed to a satisfactory standard, leaving no immediate mechanical concerns regarding roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 69,319 over a ten-year period averages approximately 6,932 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The history shows a consistent pattern of annual testing, with no significant gaps in the record that might suggest long-term storage or neglect. The relatively low mileage accumulation between May 2025 and December 2025, totaling only 82 miles, warrants a brief check for any signs of surface corrosion on brake discs or seized components that can occur when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the front brake discs and pads, as these were flagged as near-limit in May 2025. While the subsequent pass indicates these parts were addressed, verifying the quality of the replacement components provides peace of mind. The electrical system should also be checked, specifically the rear lighting units, following the minor failure regarding the rear position lamp in May 2024. Overall, the vehicle displays a clean history with no recurring structural or mechanical issues, suggesting it has been maintained with reasonable diligence by previous owners.
