2007 KIA Sportage 2.0L Petrol · NV07 CEF

The 2025‑03‑07 MOT at 134,081 miles resulted in a fail with no defects recorded, meaning the vehicle is not presently roadworthy until the underlying issue is corrected, though the test log provides no specific fault; the preceding three tests from 2021 to 2024 all passed with no recorded defects, indicating a generally stable maintenance record that was disrupted by this latest failure. The mileage trajectory shows a steady increase: from 109,876 miles in October 2021 to 112,338 miles in March 2023 (2,462 miles in five months), then to 121,339 miles in March 2024 (9,001 miles in a year) and finally to 134,081 miles in March 2025 (12,742 miles in the preceding year), indicating accelerating usage that exceeds the typical 7,057 miles per year for a 19‑year‑old model, with no major gaps beyond the duplicated 2021 entry. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check brake calipers for binding, inspect brake discs for scoring, and look for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches, as the repeated testing history points to these components being scrutinised; additionally, verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and fluid levels, since consumable wear often accompanies high annual mileage.
