2014 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · YA14 ABO

The 2014 Kia Sportage presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 October 2025 at 65,891 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes stretching back to February 2022. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied record, which indicates the vehicle has met statutory standards at every examination without escalating concerns. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 49,265 miles at the 8 February 2022 test, rising to 53,503 by 15 March 2023, 57,899 by 11 March 2024, 62,992 by 14 March 2025, and 65,891 by October 2025. That averages roughly 5,491 miles per year. The gaps between tests are regular, with no sudden accumulation or dormant periods suggesting neglect, and the clean sheet across all entries implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual use, as standing time can accelerate corrosion and stiffen rubber components without triggering MOT advisories. The absence of recorded faults means no specific structural or mechanical weakness is evidenced in the data, but underside corrosion and exhaust condition warrant physical checks that paper records cannot confirm. Given the fault-free history and light use, the vehicle shows no red flags from the official record. Verify service history against the low mileage to confirm fluids, timing belt if applicable, and brake calipers were maintained, since MOT passes alone do not evidence routine servicing.
