KIA SPORTAGE GT-LN S ISG HEV 4X4 A2023 · 1.6L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle presents in a technically roadworthy condition based on the most recent MOT test on 22 May 2026 at 41,278 miles. This test passed with no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and environmental standards. The absence of recorded faults suggests that the previous owner has maintained the mechanical and structural components to a standard that avoids inspection failure. At 41,278 miles over three years, this Sportage has clocked approximately 13,759 miles per annum. This figure is significantly higher than the national average and indicates consistent long-distance motorway use, which typically places less strain on drivetrain components compared to frequent city driving. The recent MOT date of just one month prior to the current date confirms that the vehicle is in active use and has undergone a professional inspection without flagging issues. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should focus on a physical inspection of components susceptible to high-mileage wear. Specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigueing, as high mileage can accelerate the degradation of rubber components. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear and check the calipers to ensure the system is not binding, given the high usage profile. The hybrid powertrain also requires verification of the service history to ensure that oil intervals have been strictly followed despite the high mileage. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or emission failures, the high mileage means that tyres and wiper blades should be checked for remaining tread life. A thorough check of the underside for any fluid leaks is advisable to ensure the high-frequency use has not resulted in underlying mechanical stress.
