2014 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · SC04 PCC

The vehicle is currently deemed roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward neglected consumable items. While the most recent test in January 2026 passed at 93,890 miles, it revealed a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a period of clean records in late 2023 and 2024, suggesting that while major systems are functional,ের requires attention. The mileage profile is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage reflecting the 17,700 miles driven between December 2024 (76,122 miles) and January 2026 (93,890 miles). This rapid accumulation of mileage likely correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the tyres and components, as evidenced by the immediate edge-wear issues flagged in the most recent inspection. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and artwork geometry. The recurring reports of tyres being worn on the edges across 2023 and 2026 indicate potential issues with alignment or worn suspension bushes. Furthermore, given the 2022 advisory regarding thin brake pads on both the front and rear, the current state of the braking system should be verified to ensure they have not reached the end of their life following the recent high-mileage period.
