2014 KIA Sportage 1.7L Diesel · YT64 FBL

The most recent MOT test on May 22nd, 2026, indicated that the rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, and the braking system required adjustment or repair due to imbalanced requirements. There was also slight play noted in the offside front track rod end ball joint and a TPMS light was on. The history shows a pattern of brake system concerns, with similar imbalanced requirements noted in both the 2023 and 2026 tests. There was a significant failure in 2024 related to a front coil spring and parking brake issues. The trend in the MOT history suggests that while some issues are being addressed, there are recurring mechanical concerns, particularly around the braking system, which indicates a potential area of ongoing maintenance or wear. The mileage of 120,540 miles for a 2014 model places it at approximately 10,045 miles per year, which is generally typical for its age. This mileage level suggests a moderate level of use, which could mean wear on consumables like brakes and suspension components is expected. A buyer should first inspect the braking system thoroughly for any signs of wear on the discs and check the condition of the suspension components, specifically looking for any play in the front track rod end. Also, confirm the status of the TPMS light.
