2011 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · ST04 OBN

The most recent MOT on 4 July 2025 at 44,200 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend is stable, showing no signs of worsening since the previous July 2024 test. Mileage has risen steadily from 29,054 miles in July 2022 to 44,200 miles by July 2025, averaging roughly 5,200 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 15‑year age and indicates regular use rather than prolonged standing. A buyer should inspect the condition of the rear brake calipers for binding, examine tyre tread depth, and check the underside for rust on the chassis, wheel arches and structural mounts, while also verifying the integrity of suspension bushes, coil springs and the exhaust system. Overall, the vehicle’s recent test results suggest reliable operation, but a thorough physical examination of the highlighted mechanical components is advisable before final purchase.
