2021 KIA SPORTAGE1.6L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the 8 April 2026 MOT at 40,971 miles; the tester recorded thin front and rear brake pads and discs showing wear, pitting and scoring, but no serious weakening. Compared with clean passes in 2024 and 2025, the emergence of brake wear indicates a modest decline in component condition, yet the overall status is still compliant. Mileage has risen from 18,336 miles on 19 April 2024 to 30,013 miles on 10 April 2025, then to 40,971 miles on 8 April 2026. Each twelve‑month interval added roughly 11‑12 k miles, aligning with the average 8‑9 k miles per year expected for a vehicle of this age. No significant gaps or spikes appear, suggesting regular use without prolonged storage periods. A prospective buyer should examine the brake system closely: verify pad thickness, disc surface condition, and ensure calipers operate without binding. Inspect suspension components such as bushings and coil springs for wear or corrosion, and confirm tyre tread depth is consistent across all wheels. A visual check for any rust on the chassis, exhaust system integrity, and the condition of the steering rack will further corroborate the vehicle’s mechanical health.
