2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · SL64 CNV

The most recent MOT result on 2026-05-22 was a pass, but it highlighted several areas of wear, specifically noting offside rear service brake binding and deterioration of the track rod end ball joint dust cover. The history shows a recurring mechanical pattern centred around the braking system and suspension components. Previous failures in 2024 and 2025 specifically cited issues with brake performance, including excessive fluctuation, significantly worn rear brake discs, and brake pads that were less than 1.5 mm thick. The condition trend is mixed. While there was a clean pass recorded in 2025, the previous failures indicate significant wear on critical safety components. The most recent MOT confirms some ongoing wear on tyres and suspension related parts. The mileage of 69,923 miles for a 2014 model is relatively low for its age, suggesting the wear observed is likely due to component age rather than high usage. However, the history clearly indicates that components like brakes and suspension linkages have been subject to failure or significant wear. A buyer must inspect the braking system immediately. Check the thickness of the rear brake pads and thoroughly examine the condition of the rear brake discs for signs of excessive wear.
