2018 KIA Sportage KX-2 Crdi 2.0L Diesel · ORZ 1125

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and positive maintenance history. The most recent test conducted in September 2024 at 46,488 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a clean record across the last three inspections. This trend suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been adequately maintained without the recurring failures often seen in older vehicles of this class. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between the July 2022 test at 12,904 miles and the August 2023 test at 27,951 miles, representing over 15,000 miles in a single year. However, usage slowed again significantly with 18,537 miles covered before the 2024 inspection. The overall low mileage indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT records are impeccable, a buyer should inspect for signs of age associated with low-mileage vehicles that may have spent periods stationary. Check for dried rubber components, perished suspension bushes, or minor corrosion on brake discs which can occur from lack of use. Since no advisories were noted for structural rust or fluid leaks, the structural integrity appears sound, but a physical check of the tyre age and fluid levels remains necessary despite the low recorded mileage.
