2016 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · YN16 YGV

This Kia Sportage presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 23 February 2026 at 101,357 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the preceding three years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 10,136 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 3 March 2023 at 73,536 miles and 28 February 2024 at 89,651 miles, where the car covered nearly 16,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the annual mileage has stabilised to approximately 4,000 miles per year, as seen in the jump to 97,574 miles by February 2025 and finally 101,357 miles in early 2026. The absence of advisories across multiple years is uncommon for a ten year old vehicle. The record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. Even the failure on 23 February 2024 was resolved immediately on the same day, and the lack of detailed defect data for that specific failure suggests it was a minor administrative or easily rectified item rather than a structural or mechanical flaw. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on general wear items that the MOT does not always flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the depth of the brake pads. Given the vehicle has surpassed 100,000 miles, verify the service history for timing belt or chain maintenance and oil change intervals to ensure the drivetrain has been cared for beyond the basic legal requirements of the MOT.
