2018 KIA Sportage 1.6L Petrol · HN18 AEL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 April 2025 at 56,952 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car is currently in good mechanical condition. This clean result follows consecutive successful passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 27,162 miles and April 2024 at 47,285 miles, the car covered roughly 20,000 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The data shows a brief anomaly in April 2023 where the vehicle failed a test at 36,905 miles but passed the very following day. This suggests a minor, one-off issue that was identified and rectified immediately, rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. Since the MOT history is remarkably clean of recurring advisories, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of consumable items that age between tests. Check the condition of the tyre rubber and suspension bushes for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from perish despite low use. Inspect the brake discs for pitting and check the structural integrity of the rear sills and wish arm mounts to ensure no hidden corrosion has begun to develop since the last clean test.
