2019 KIA Sportage 1.6L Diesel · RF19 YLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT test on 06 October 2025 at 77,286 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the required standard. While a failure occurred in mid-2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying identified faults immediately. The mileage progression remains consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2022 test at 31,387 miles and the July 2023 test at 48,642 miles, the car covered roughly 17,000 miles, showing slightly higher-than-average usage. However, usage leveled off thereafter, with approximately 28,600 miles covered over the most recent 27-month period. This steady accumulation suggests regular use, which can benefit the engine components and prevent the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. The failure on 17 July 2024 at 64,002 miles is the only point of concern in the history, though the specific reason for failure is not detailed in the summary. A buyer should verify if this failure was related to braking components or suspension hardware, which are common areas of wear at this mileage. Given the lack of adviserories in the most recent tests, the structural integrity and exhaust system artwork sound, but a physical inspection should still check for signs of minor corrosion or uneven wear on the suspension bushes to ensure no new issues are developing between annual cycles.
