2011 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · YG11 AEM

The 2011 Kia Sportage passed its most recent MOT on 5 January 2024 at 122,522 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The record shows a clean test in January 2022 at 96,034 miles, a failure with no defects listed on 6 January 2023 at 110,159 miles, a pass days later at 110,549 miles, then the 2024 failure and pass pair at 122,522 miles. These back-to-back fail-and-pass entries on the same dates suggest administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical rectification, so the underlying condition appears consistent rather than deteriorating. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 8,168 miles per year for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, with the odometer moving from 96,034 in January 2022 to 110,549 in January 2023 and 122,522 by January 2024. The annual increase of roughly 11,000 to 12,000 miles in the later years runs slightly above the lifetime average but shows no abrupt spikes or long dormant periods. The sparse five-entry history offers little granular insight into consumable replacement cycles, though the absence of tyre, brake, or suspension advisories implies either light wear or intermittent testing coverage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural corrosion points, suspension bushes, and brake disc thickness given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. The MOT record flags no binding calipers, exhaust emission breaches, or coil spring fractures, yet a clean sheet at 122,522 miles does not certify component life remaining. Verify the V5C and service book against the 2023 and 2024 same-day fail-pass anomalies to confirm no skipped rectification work hides behind the zero-defect listings.
