2018 KIA Sportage 2.0L Diesel · YY18 FVC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test, conducted on 20 October 2025 at 63,246 miles, resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical and safety-critical components effectively, as the car has avoided recurring failures or structural degradation over the last five testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between October 2021 at 46,579 miles and October 2025 at 63,246 miles, the car covered 16,667 miles, indicating steady and moderate usage rather than long periods of sitting stationary. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest the vehicle was neglected or off, and the relatively low mileage generally reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly compared to higher-mileage Sportage examples. Since the MOT record shows no historical issues with suspension bushes, corrosion, or brake binding, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that an MOT does not cover. A buyer should check the condition of the tyres for uneven wear and inspect the brake pads and discs for scoring or remaining thickness. Given the clean record, the primary focus should be on verifying the absence of fluid leaks and checking the state of the rubber components, as the documented data indicates the vehicle has been well-cared for.
