2021 KIA SPORTAGE GT-LN S CRDI ISG MHEV1.6L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 16 March 2026 at 84,469 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recorded history. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure at identical mileage, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for either outcome. Prior tests on 13 March 2025 at 66,566 miles and 14 March 2024 at 49,227 miles also passed with no advisories or faults logged. The absence of any recorded defects across four annual tests indicates consistent compliance, though the same-day fail-pass pair suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. The Sportage has covered roughly 16,894 miles per year since its 2021 registration, a high annual accumulation for a five-year-old crossover. Mileage climbed from 49,227 in March 2024 to 66,566 in March 2025, then to 84,469 by March 2026, showing steady yearly use of around 17,000 to 18,000 miles. No gaps exist between tests; the owner maintained annual MOT discipline. High mileage of this order accelerates wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake friction materials even where the tester raised no flags. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension arms, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage. The clean MOT record means no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity concerns appear in the official data. Verify the 16 March 2026 fail reason at the testing station, as the nil-defect entry offers no explanation for the rejected certificate. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition as consumable items nearing replacement at this mileage. The record implies previous owners kept statutory testing current but offers no evidence of proactive mechanical servicing beyond MOT scope.
