2019 KIA Sportage GT-LN Crdi ISG 4X4 SA 1.6L Diesel · SA19 ONT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 29, 2025, 59,714 miles. While a failure was recorded just two days prior at 59,480 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests either a clerical error or an administrative cancellation rather than a mechanical failure. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the recurring issues noted in previous years have cleared from the most recent inspection. At approximately 60,000 miles over seven years, the Sportage reflects a consistent usage pattern of roughly 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with 15,000 miles covered between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, followed by another 8,000 miles. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the engine seals and rubber components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and braking system due to recurring advis. The 2023 test at 36,577 miles flagged worn front suspension arm pins and bushes, which evolved into advisories for worn brake discs and uneven tyre wear by July 2024 at 44,579 miles. The inner-edge wear on the offside front tyre specifically indicates a potential alignment issue or worn component that was not addressed. A physical inspection is required to ensure that the suspension bushes have been replaced and that the current brake discs are not suffering from pitting or premature thinning.
