2014 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · YR14 EVG

This 2014 Kia Sportage has covered 112,800 miles, averaging roughly 9,400 miles per year. This mileage is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has seen consistent usage rather than being left to sit for long periods. However, the MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring maintenance issues that suggest the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related component fatigue is becoming more frequent. The most recent MOT from July 2025 resulted in a pass, but it highlighted slight play in the offside front track rod end. While this is currently an advisory, it indicates that the steering and suspension components are beginning to show signs of wear. This follows a trend of minor but persistent defects, such as the brake pad thinning and lighting issues noted in previous years. The vehicle's history shows a mix of minor repairs and safety-related advisories. The 2024 MOT failure due to a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and thin brake pads suggests that the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive with maintenance. The 2023 report regarding the exhaust corrosion and parking brake efficiency further reinforces that the vehicle is now at an age where the exhaust system and braking components require closer scrutiny. Overall, the condition trend appears stable but requires careful monitoring.
