2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · R77 KSB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history across the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 26 January 2026 at 99,440 miles showed no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have consistently maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without triggering the mechanical or structural failures common in high-mileage SUVs. The mileage reflects a consistent high-use pattern, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. There is a notable surge in usage between November 2023 at 85,017 miles and February 2025 at 92,869 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 8,000 miles in just fifteen months. However, the rapid jump from 92,830 to 92,869 miles between January and February 2025 suggests the car was driven extensively during that specific period. This level of mileage typically accelerates the wear rate on drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT history is flawless, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components susceptible to heavy-duty wear. A buyer should check for signs of perished suspension bushes and worn coil springs, which often degrade after six figure miles. It is also vital to verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or thinning, as the MOT test does not capture minor issues. Given the age and usage, inspecting the chassis for early-stage corrosion remains a priority to ensure the structural integrity remains sound for future ownership.
