2016 KIA Sportage 1 Crdi ISG 1.7L Diesel · SS03 MCD

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 May 2025 at 48,857 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This clean record across the last four tests indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to diligent upkeep and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures common in vehicles this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,886 miles per year. Between February 2021 at 37,759 miles and March 2024 at 46,260 miles, the car covered only 8,501 miles over three years. The recent interval of 2,597 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests a very light usage pattern. Such low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can occasionally lead to dry seal degradation or brake corrosion from long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components typically affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the rubber elements, such as suspension bushes and tyre boots, for cracking or perish rot due to age rather than wear. Check the brake discs for surface rust pitting and binding calipers, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. The overall data suggests a well-preserved example that has avoided the typical mechanical stresses associated with high-mileage operation.
