2021 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · FL21 AGO

The most recent MOT on 31 March 2025 recorded a failure at 46,654 miles, flagging cuts on the nearside front and off‑side rear tyres and a worn off‑side front tyre, together with insufficient washer fluid in the windscreen system. The preceding test on 25 April 2024 had passed with no recorded defects, indicating a deteriorating maintenance trend over the past year. Mileage has risen from 33,070 miles in April 2024 to 46,654 miles by March 2025, an increase of 13,584 miles in roughly eleven months – about 12,300 miles per annum. This rate exceeds the average 9,300 miles per year for a vehicle of this age, suggesting relatively intensive use or a period of accelerated wear. No gaps in the record are evident; the data points are consistent and reflect a clear usage pattern. A prospective buyer should give immediate attention to the tyre condition: verify the depth and integrity of the front and rear tyres, replace any with cuts that approach the ply, and ensure the off‑side front tyre meets legal tread limits. Inspect the windscreen washer system for leaks or a faulty pump, and confirm that the reservoir fills correctly. While no suspension or structural advisories appear in the MOT history, the rapid mileage accumulation warrants a visual check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion that might have developed unnoticed. Confirming these items on a physical inspection will clarify whether the vehicle can be restored to a safe, road‑worthy state.
