2016 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · YS16 FVL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 102,918 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just two miles prior on the same day, which likely indicates an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately before the passing test. Since 2023, the car has passed every annual inspection without any recorded mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 77,217 miles in March 2023 to 84,372 miles in February 2024, 93,301 miles in 2025, and 102,918 miles in early 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing corrosion issues associated with long periods of standing. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to the Sportage at the 100,000-mile mark. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade at this mileage interval. You should also check the brake discs for thinning or uneven wear, and examine the underside for any developing surface corrosion that has not yet reached the threshold of a structural MOT failure.
