2013 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · PX63 YRY

The 2026-02-07 MOT at 60,518 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable over the past five years. Each preceding test from 2022 through 2025 also recorded passes with zero defects, showing no escalation of faults. At 60,518 miles the Sportage averages roughly 4,655 miles per year, a figure that is low for a 13‑year‑old model and suggests periods of reduced use or long intervals between tests. The mileage increments between consecutive tests range from 3,224 miles in 2022‑23 to 4,086 miles in 2023‑24, indicating a steady but modest accumulation rather than rapid wear, and there are no gaps in the documented record. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers, as these components often deteriorate with age even when mileage is modest. The brake discs and calipers, particularly the rear binding calipers noted in similar models, merit close examination, along with the exhaust system for corrosion and the chassis for structural rust. Given the clean MOT history, any hidden corrosion or seized components may not have been captured, so a physical inspection of the underbody, wheel arches and suspension mount points is essential.
