2016 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · WP16 VLB

The most recent MOT on 28 June 2025 at 133,260 miles recorded a Pass, indicating the vehicle is currently road‑worthy. The preceding failure on 19 June 2025, also at 133,180 miles, listed no defects, suggesting the issue was administrative or quickly remedied; overall the maintenance trend appears stable with no recurring failures. Mileage has risen from 108,531 miles in June 2022 to 133,260 miles in June 2025, an average of roughly 13,000 miles per year. This high‑mileage profile for a 2016 model points to substantial use but shows a consistent, linear increase without large gaps, implying regular driving rather than prolonged storage. The record contains no missing tests, reinforcing that the vehicle has been kept current with its statutory inspections. A prospective buyer should focus on wear‑related components that high mileage typically stresses. Inspect the tyre tread depth and condition of the tyre sidewalls, verify the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue, and examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing. A visual check for corrosion on the chassis, exhaust system, and wheel arches, together with a functional test of the steering and throttle response, will confirm that no hidden structural or mechanical deterioration has been missed despite the clean MOT history.
