2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · WR14 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history in its most recent inspections. The March 2026 test at 85,287 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful testing throughout 2025 and 2023, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum regulatory standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,107 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 77,466 miles in March 2023 to the current 85,287 miles. This incremental growth suggests regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive high-speed motorway mileage. The single failure recorded on March 6, 2024, at 79,782 miles, appears to be an isolated incident as the vehicle passed immediately upon retest, suggesting a minor non-compliance was rectified quickly. While the MOT record is clean, the current mileage warrants a physical inspection of common wear items for a Sportage of this age. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension system for worn bushes or leaking dampers, as well as the condition of the brake discs and pads. Given the vehicle has covered over 85,000 miles, checking for underside corrosion on the exhaust and structural components is a prudent step to ensure long-term integrity.
