KIA SPORTAGE2017 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 March 2026 at 39,997 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend spanning back to March 2022, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have met DVSA standards without failure across multiple annual cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,444 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 24,632 miles and March 2026 at 39,997 miles, the car covered 15,365 miles, showing a consistent annual usage pattern rather than long periods of inactivity. This low-mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system, though low-use vehicles can sometimes lead to premature rubber component degradation or surface corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. While the record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer should physically inspect for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Focus attention on potential cracking in tyre sidewalls and age-related perish, as well as the condition of suspension bushes which can harden regardless of low mileage. Since the record lacks any recorded advisories for brake components or corrosion, the structural integrity appears sound, but a visual check of the underbody for surface rust remains advisable to ensure the clean history has not masked minor environmental damage.
